What I would do is, first turn off the heater, lights and filter. Then I'ld syphon some water from the tank into a clean bucket. Next I would net the fish and place them in the bucket. Then I would syphon most of the remaining water from the tank trying not to disturb the gravel or plants too much or leave them to dry out. I would then refill the tank with water I had kept overnight in clean containers to allow the chlorine to evaporate off. Alternativly you could use a commercial water conditioner available at pet shops to counteract the chlorine/chloromine in the tap water. Then I would turn everything electrical back on not forgetting to clean or replace about 80% of the filter medium. Maybe a little hot water would be required to equalise the temperature of the water in the tank with the water in the bucket and then if I was happy with everything being ready I would replace the fish in the tank.
