Kw0me - as you know the vacuum or siphon works via gravity. Water moves from point A to point B where point B is lower then point A.
Trying to move water from A to B without the help of gravity or a python will be tough.
Your best bet would be to take out about 3/4 the water (depending on your tank size). Don't throw it out, unless you need to do a water change. Hopefully this will allow you to put a layer of cut to fit 2X4s underneath (NOT a one person job!). This will lift your tank about 1.75 inches off the ground - it won't give you great suction but it's better then nothing. Then put the water back in.
Basically go to your local home hardware/home renovation store and by the wood and they'll cut it to your desired length.
I'm not a fan of moving a tank with water still in it but if you can find a few friends and lift from the bottom you should be OK. And you'll have to do something like this when you do get a stand - I generally use large TV stands for my tanks. They have shelves and a lot of storage and are built to hold hundreds of pounds, and are cheaper then aquarium stands.
