congrats - start by setting up the filtration system, with the temp/salinity right and then when you do water changes migrate the water into the tank.
start moving your LS/LR to the new tank and in about a week your ready to migrate the fish.
turn off the lights when moving your animals!! It helps with their stress.
TRy to move the fish in the right order - least agressive first as they will become territorial all over again.
Good luck and where did you get the tank? I'm looking to upgrade as well.
