Default Moving time and tank upgrade, my plan

I'm moving at the end of the month from one apartment to another, and the new place has no restriction on what size tank I can have. As much as I'd love to get a 230 or something huge and long, it's just not in the budget at this time, so a 70 is going to have to do.

What I'm working on is:

- buying a sump/skimmer combo. Based off the Reef Octopus skimmers, an all acrylic sump with the skimmer built in, rated for a 150, should be good for what I'm planning
- start running the sump as soon as possible, buying a box of reef bones and 20 or so pounds of live rock so I can get the new rock ready to go into the new tank
- bag the fish, coral and all the inverts that I can grab
- keep as much of the water as possible and have as much NSW ready to go as possible
- I'm going BB on the new one, so I'm not worried about the sand bed on the old one
- new tank will be drilled for an overflow as well as have the back painted

Is there anything I'm missing? Anything I should do different?
