New SW tank coming this week...advice on move/setup

take all live rock out of the tank first. If you can move the tank and stand together then good. be sure to strap the tank to the stand if you decide to do it this way.if you have the funds then i would highly recommend you get a furniture removalest to help. there expertise and skill in moving heavy things will pay dividends, plus they have special tools for the job.
also it may pay to put a few large peices of foam in the tank, and pack the tank and stand in blankets.

Goodluck with it. take some pics once you get it.

Sounds like a great tank! Some sugestions:

Sand
Sand beds get really nasty over time and if you are going to scoop that bed out to move the tank you are going to stir up all sorts of detritus which may cause a spike in nitrates. It doesn't sound like there is much livestock to be concerned about but wanted you to know just in case. If the spike is severe enough it could kill the starfish, etc. You can minimize this by moving the tank with the sand in it and a little water to keep it wet. I would imagine this would make an already heavy lift much heavier. You could also clean the old sand really well or buy new sand. If you get new sand you don't have to buy live sand as you can keep a few cupfulls of the old sand to seed the new bed. The few cupfulls and your live rock will seed the bed in no time.

Water
I would only keep enough water to keep the LR submerged while you move and reset the tank and I would not use that water to refill the tank. The amount of benefinical bacteria in your LR and your sand far outways what is in the water. If you have life in the tank you hope to keep alive make sure you match the temperature and specific gravity (ideally somewhere around 1.024 - 1.026) of the old water with the new water. Keep in mind that SG is dependent on water temp. You should also plan on allowing your new SW to mix for at least a few hours but overnight is best to ensure proper mixing. You may be using premix water from your LFS and if so disregard that last part (except matching the SG). Also, don't use tap water and use RO/DI water to mix and top-offs.

Livestock
Probably obvious but either bag fish/corals & inverts or use a seperate bucket so they don't get smooshed. Also if they will be out if the tank for a while don't foregt to use a heater and a small powerhead for flow. Give your liverock a good shake under SW or use a turkey baster to blow off deteritus from your rock.

Good luck with the move and welcome to SW. Glad you got a good deal because your about to spend some coin!!!
