Default How to move to a new tank?

So I am expecting to have my new tank in my living room next week. Its a Lay-down 135, center overflow (herbie style) with drilled return and cord conduit, custom sump, stand and canopy.

I will be moving the contents of my 75g over to their new home and let someone else enjoy my 75 (shameless plug: http://216.187.96.54/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=36598 )

I am wondering what is the best way to move the equipment and livestock over to the new tank?
Equipement I will be moving over includes:
Skimmer (Bullet Clone - in sump)
2 x 400w MH
2 x 54 Florescent dimmable on profilux
Profilux
Cooling fans in Canopy
Tunze Nanostream 6055 on Profilux
New tank will have a new heater, and return pump, that will also be running the skimmer. I also have a spare powerhead kicking around, and an extra skimmer I could use for awhile (Seio 2600 and remora- shameless plug: http://216.187.96.54/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=36597 )
Live stock I will be moving includes:
~80 Pounds of LR
3 green chromis
6 line wrass
Kole Tang
2 maroon clowns
Few inverts (hermits and a shrimp)
Corals on LR, but nothing really hard to move (ie Large SPS)
What should be the moving progression for this tank? I would like to move alot of the equipment first (lighting and profilux) so I can have everything ready for the big move, but I don't want to leave my livestock without lighting and heating control for very long. I would also like to test out the tanks, pump, and plumbing before I have anything in the tanks. Also should I plan on using alot of my water from the 75g tank in the new tank?

The tanks will be about 10 feet apart so moving from one to the other wont be a big problem (knock on wood!)
