I really struggle with posting on here. Lol I’m trying to take the aquarium off the kitchen counter and place it on the stand a few feet away. My question is, how can I successfully accomplish this with as little stress to the live stock?

I believe this to be a very easy move.
If it was me I would move the rock and livestock to a holding container leaving a little water with the sand. Move the tank and reassemble.
I honestly would not overthink this move.

Lol I came here expecting it to be a 800g tank. Drain the water into a bucket(s) move the tank with rock and sand in place if doable and then add the water back. Just pour it nice and slow and it should be fine.

Easy move with two people a third would be better though. One person on each end of the tank and a third walking alongside with a hand in the tank to make sure your scape doesn’t fall over and crack the glass. Drain 2/3 of your water into clean buckets so it can go right back in.
Im going to be doing the same thing soon. We are getting new carpeting and the tank has to be moved and then moved back in the same day. Fully loaded Evo 13.5.
