That sounds like quite the task but so glad that you’re sticking with it.
Good luck!

I'm kind of leaning to trying to find someone to take the fish and the corals for a week or two, move, set the tank up have it all ready and come back to pick the fish and coral up on a different day. I think that would be easier than doing it all at once.

Long distance moves are very difficult. I did it 30 years ago when I moved from Vancouver to Penticton and moved it back 2 years later. Wasn't dealing with corals back then.

Basically I set up a new tank in Penticton, moved some of the rock and sand one week. Came back and moved all the fish the following week. Took down the old tank. Then re-set up the old tank in my new place, then transferred the fish, rock and dismantled the extra tank. You almost need a complete other setup to make this method work.

Not fun at all, I was young and foolish. The biggest problem is it is not just a fish tank you have to move but all your belongings as well. Way too stressful. If I had to do it again I might just sell everything alive and start again.
