How to move to a new tank?

[Todd]

Yeah, moving the livestock should be the easy thing. Its more when I should do that (Before equipment / after equipment) and when and how should I test my tank? Ie with RO water so I don't have to drain it? With tap water so it is easy to fill?

I would like to somehow test the tank (make sure its not a leaker), mix up water, heat it up and get the pumps running, move over my lighting and other equipment and then finally move over my livestock. But I am thinking it will take awhile to get my equipment move over and running. Just wondering if someone had done this before and knew the most effective way of doing it.
