Moving my tank

Hey Everybody, I am a college student with a 29 gallon tank.

I hadn't planned on moving until graduation, but I got a summer internship that will require me to live with my parents for the summer. I am going to have to move my tank and am slightly nervous about this.

I won't move in until the second week in May, but I want to make sure I do this right. Right now my plan is to get about 6 5 gallon buckets and save all my water. I want to keep my live rock in water as well as my pumps and stuff that have coraline on them.

What I am concerned about though is my substrate. It is crushed coral and I thought I read somewhere that stirring that stuff up can release some stuff that will kill your fish. Should I be worried about this? Also, I have quite a bit of coraline on the walls of my tank--is this going to cause my tank to "cycle" again after I get home and put everything back together? I appreciate everyone's input. Thanks a bunch.

TP
