Well, I doubt you will be able to move the tank with the inhabitants inside so you will need to figure out a temporary holding/transporting location while the tank is moved I would think. 72 gallons of water is heavy :-) Even half of that is heavy! And even if you did mange to get the tank into a truck with the inhabitants inside, there will be lots of sloshing around in the tank unless you drive 5/10km/h to your new home.
I have moved tanks so many times.. Here's what I did the last time I had to move a tank from house to house. Similar steps for even moving fish from tank to tank.
1. Premix some salt water, heat to the display tanks temperature and fill one or two tubs with the new salt water at the new location. You can get 33 gallon tubs that will fit 3 into the back of a Nissan Murano
That's about 90 gallons!
2. If transporting to a new house, place one or two of the tubs in the trunk/truck that will be transporting them. Get a long long hose and pump the water out of the display tank and into the tubs. If you have big strong guys to help you can get them to carry the filled tubs into the car, but even the filled tubs are heavy! That's why I leave them in the truck and pump the water from the house into the tubs in the car.
3. When you have enough water in the tubs, fish out some of your fish, into buckets and then put them in your tub. You could also run a heater to the tubs with an extension cord.
4. Repeat #2-3 until all your tubs house all your fish/corals/crabs/live stock.
5. Remember to save a tub for the live rock but I don't recommend putting rocks and fish in the same tub!
6. Transport your fish to the new location, plug in heaters and pumps to circulate while you transport the tank.
7. Tear down the tank and transport.
8. Set up tank at new location
9. Pump water from tubs into display tank. Pump new salt water into display tank.
10. Put fish into display tank.
To me this is the equivalent of a really rough water change, but everyone pulls through.
Yes, it is a lot of work but the more work you put into it, the higher your success rate will be.
There's lots of other ways to go about moving a tank, but this is how I do it :-)
I have spare heaters, powerheads and tubs if you need to borrow any. Heck, you can just borrow my entire fish moving kit, complete with water pump and hoses :-)
Anyway, to answer your thread question, yes, I will have a 4 foot tank stand just sitting around once I move everyone from my 90 gallon into the new 150 gallon this coming weekend.
