Default 90G tank move

I will be moving in the next couple of months and have have to do the dreaded tank move. ugh... Where to start? I was thinking of connecting two tupperware containers with hoses. I would put all my fish, corals and most of my live rock in one and the other would have the rest of my rock, skimmer return pump.... I would put my light over both of the containers.

I would only keep my favorite fish and corals and sell the rest.

Any ideas concerns. If anyone has had experience moving a fully stocked tank around 90G please tell me your experience.

Default PE tank

Jason,
Have a 90 gal poly ethylene container, that you can use if you wish. Let me know I can drop if off or you can pick up.
Bob

Thanks guys. I will definately use your tub Bob. I found out I can use my friends house and with your poly tank Bob this should be ok. It will be a local move thankfuly so I can do this in more than one trip. What are the dimensions of the tub?
