we are moving a 90 gal. existing tank. any suggestions about the easy was of doing it. Do we have to set up some buckets with water now and let it sit? Can we take some buckets and move the water with the tank?

I just moved my 75 gal tank, What a hassel, I put all the rock in buckets and filled them with water, Then I placed the fish in a cooler, also about another 25 gals of water in buckets. As soon as I got the tank moved I put in the rock and the inverts. I added what water I saved and started making more. I kept the fish in the cooler which I put an air stone and a heater in, The next morning my trigger and grouper had passed. My puffer made it barely but hasn't eaten in 3 week, not one bite. All inverts made it.
