Ok so as some of you folks know, I am moving in about two weeks. This thread is going to document the tank move. Anyone that has moved a tank, please feel free to add input with advice and suggestions.
Procedure as of right now.
1) Set up temp holding in a large rubermaid container at the new place. 15-20 gallons.
2) Transfer LR and live stock to holding tank once the water is stabilized.
3) Discard sand from the old tank
4) Move tank and equipment to new place
5) Clean all the equipment and tank.
6) Set up new tank with new sand and handful of old sand to start cycle.
7) Wait for cycle to finish
8) Start to add LR and live stock over the period of a few months.
Stock is only two clown fish, and themove is only a few miles so I don't think I should see much die off on the LR. But the new sand and cleaning the tank will probably cause a significant cycle. I am planning on redoing the plumbing to incorporate an algae scrubber. I ran one before and it did an amazing job of keeping the tank algae free.
