My wife and I bought a new home and will be moving fri. I've tried to research some old threads but the search engine is down. I have a 44 gal. pentagon tank contents: royal gramma, clown fish, blue damsel, orange lickia, tiger tail sea cuke, crocea, cynaria, xenia, gsp's, zoas, florida ric's, acropora, acan's, snails, and some cheato. I was just wondering what was the best way, or how others have done it. I was going to bag everything seperate, have 20 gallons of my existing water in a rubbermaid container at the new house. Bring all the critters to the container. Then come back remove rock 90 lbs., drain and try to store water. Then move tank and sump. place water back in , then rock. Just worried about acclimation, coming from my tank to rubbermaid container then back into my tank in like 12 hrs. Anything different I should try?
 
Your plan sounds good to me. I move my 40 gallon three times using no real method other that what your planning above. I didnt even bag anything, just put it all in the rubbermaid tubs with lids. everything always turned out fine with no loses. Good luck!!
