I assume the tank has rocks also. The best is to borrow or buy some large rubber maids. I have moved lots of large systems and have never lost a thing. Remove the rock and place it in a tub with some water then place wet towels on the rock(depending on distance of move). Try to keep as much water as possible. Throw out all the substrate and get new substrate. Remove the fish and place in a tub move tank. While moving have a powerhead and heater in the tub with the fish to keep warm and oxygenated. Make sure you have all the right plumbing for quick setup once moved. Have a bunch of water mad up where the tank is being moved so once its in place you can have the water ready to go in. Unless you know the for sure age of the bulbs i would also change them to prevent nuisance algae from growing. Also consider getting carbon and start running it to take up and toxins and crap released from the move.
