switching tanks

[bloat]

Hope you don't mind if I tag along....

Me doing the same this weekend too....
I'm going from a 114gal DSB reef to a 175gal........
Contrary to to what Iv'e read a bit.....gunna use most of my DSB and top it off with some new stuff....I'm guessing its gunna be a nasty job that will take a full day, morning till late at night to complete it all.

My plan is to:
Do the Plumbing (transfer sump essentials)
Take out & store rock/livestock/water
Transfer Sand & new Sand.....T
Add water & new mixed water, & Live Rock.
Let system run for a couple hours to clear up a bit.....
Slowly add livestock for the rest of the day.
Do water lotsa water changes during the next couple weeks.

Things that might help.....??

Large water storage containers.....
Pump setup to move water rapidly.
Kitchen rubber gloves.
Beer.

Any other ideas that might help?
