I would be concerned about not removing the gravel out of the tank and the integrity of the tank afterwards.
On another note, my husband and I moved our tropical fish tank from Eureka California (about 1 hour and 45 minutes on the coast from the Oregon border) to Portland Oregon and with no deaths. We used those toss able plastic containers food containers and drilled holes in them for water circulation, separated each type of fish that we had. Emptied out almost all the water into the large buckets that aquarium salt comes in, one bucket had water and the plants in also. We then took out as much of the substrate as we could.
Since the fish were tropical we bought a ice chest that was big enough to fit all the plastic containers that were going to hold all the fish and drilled a hole large enough to have a bubbler and heater fit into the cooler and had an inverter in the car and drove up all night, set up the tank (with our dogs) and returned back to old home waited for movers to pick up our crap and returned to our new home. No fish loss =)
The fish store in Eureka where we shopped offered to buy back all our babies but we did not want to, they predicted a 50% fish loss, when we told them what we did and gave them pictures, they were impressed!
