HELP! Moving my aquarium.....

[DLQ]

I am moving and thought the easiest way to move my aquarium would be to set up another aquarium in my new place. Before moving I checked my parameters and everything was good. I bought new sand and mixed about 1/2 of my existing sand and used 5 gallons of water from my existing tank, I checked the parameters of my new tank and my ammonia level is 1.5 , nitrite is 0 and nitrate is 20. How do I lower my ammonia level???? I have not moved any of my wildlife but I only have 4 more days to move. Whats the next step? Thanks all

I would think the Am will need water changes. Can You take as much existing water with You?

Thanks, I do have more existing water. I just wasn't sure what caused the ammonia level to spike.
