Moving questions

So I have just left attorney review on my condo in downtown JC and currently live in hoboken. I'm closing May 14th.
Now the issue is clearly my Tank is filled here. My roommate may stay here in my apt then I could setup a new tank. I have an extra skimmer, pumps, no lighting though. I'm thinking 90 gal corner or 75 gal and move it in. Otherwise I have 65 gal tank reasonable filled with stuff, and trying to figure out how to move it across town would be the problem. I'm sure many of you have experienced this.

If you don't have a new tank setup at the new house, put all livestock and rocks in rubbermaids, move tank to new home. When moving tank, try to leave as much water in it as possible as not to disturb the sandbed too much. Keep a PH and heater in rubbermaids. Let water in tank settle down a bit after reaquascaping. Add livestock back.
Anyone else please chime in incase I left something out.

i'm thinking if the bioload is light one could just do-away with the LS, and grab a cupful and seed the new dry sand bed.

Years ago when my friend moved to California she gave me her 55 gal. tank and its inhabitants, it was also bare bottom. We placed the fish is one rubbermaid container and the live rock in another, and used a lot of other containers to take as much of her water to my house as possible. I think we ended up bringing 45 gal. here and I had made up more here, so it was as if I did a water change. Worked really well.
