well 29 gallons would be very heavy, I think you would probably have to take out a lot of it and save it, I think your fish will be ok if you leave a certain amount in the tank for them, or put them in a another smaller bowl while you move it emptied of all the water, maybe a good chance to give the tank a good clean out...

you really have to take a lot of the water out to transport it safely. you need to put the fish in a different receptacle or container first with some of the aquarium water in it. when you get to your new place, treat some new water and mix with the old. don't pour the fish in! put them in gently. good luck!
