Long distance moves are very difficult. I did it 30 years ago when I moved from Vancouver to Penticton and moved it back 2 years later. Wasn't dealing with corals back then.
Basically I set up a new tank in Penticton, moved some of the rock and sand one week. Came back and moved all the fish the following week. Took down the old tank. Then re-set up the old tank in my new place, then transferred the fish, rock and dismantled the extra tank. You almost need a complete other setup to make this method work.
Not fun at all, I was young and foolish. The biggest problem is it is not just a fish tank you have to move but all your belongings as well. Way too stressful. If I had to do it again I might just sell everything alive and start again.
