My brother just bought a 55g reef tank that has been running for 9yrs and moved it about 5 miles and did a 80% water change. His question is will there be any bad side affects?
Will a 55g reef tank survive if moved?

It should be fine as long as the live rock was kept in water but keep testing and make sure he doesn't have a mini cycle happen

Would a mini cycle involve a bad smell?

if the water smells there is dead stuff in the water were there any anemones in the tank?

How did he move everything? What was in the tank? What kind of equipment came with it?

No just rock, sand, and 6" of water. The prior inhabitants were moved to an existing reef tank and are doing fine.

How about equipment? Heater? Skimmer? Filter? Sump?
If there's a smell there's a cycle. Does he have test kits?
