Any tips on how to move this fish tank. I have about 25 shrimp and 3 small fish. It’s a 6.6 gallon tank and around 60lbs.

If it’s a nearby move, empty 2/3 of the water into a bucket with a lid- gently carry the tank to the passenger footwell and drive slow. Place the tank on another level surface and refill- you’d probably stress the fish and shrimp more, and disrupt the plants roots more if you removed everything for a quick move
Move fish to 5 gal bucket with half the water or so.
Get a piece of wood/cutting board/baking pan big enough for the tank.
Put a sheet of foam in the bottom of a box, put aquarium on top of wood/pan and place in box on the foam.
Saran wrap the top or put lid back
Close box.
Move box and bucket.
Just did this with 12 tanks, 35mi move. Zero losses
