I've moved a tank with about two inches of sand in it, had no concerns. How deep is your sand bed? A calculator I just checked on says 200lbs should be around 6", if so that's about 1/4 of the total height of the glass, and I'd be a little worried with that much sand, but I think it could be done...
Instead of 50% water changes, consider dosing vinegar to reduce nitrates. Cheap and easy, works well, if you're interested there are many threads to be found on Google. Here's one: http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index....arine-aquarium

I moved my 120gal 7ft out from the wall so that I could build a tank-room with all of the sand, rock, coral and fish still in. I just drained it down to the last 3". I didn't have to contend with carpet so I just lifted and shifted each side a little at a time until it was located where I wanted.

I moved the tank without incident more or less.
I'll post some pics when it clears up. I need to get more garden eels. Surprisingly I had 2 jump over the last few months and a couple disappear. The ones I still have I have had for more than 2 years so I know I can keep them long term. I hope to add some hitching posts lower the temp to about 75-76 and get some sea horses and pipefish. With that in mind I took the 4 chromis out of the tank and moved them to my reef.
