IMO your new house need new trash cans so whay not buy a few and use then first for your rock and all.
Fish can be placed in buckets with lids but remember to wash them thoroughly before you use it for the fish or corals.
It Ain't a easy job and you can use some diehard hobbyist from your local club to help you with it.

Good idea... but I'd rather have more, smaller pails. They are easier to move.

Glad I could help, what ever works for you as long you over think it a few times.
Moving a tank ain't a easy task.

Thanks!! I'm trying to get the plan in place so it goes smoothly and my husband knows what part he has to play. We have several other animals and 4 kids so this should be interesting.

A year and a half ago we moved with 5 kids, one being an infant. I understand that stress. We had a 265 gallon and a 50 gallon. The biggest pain was catching the fish. That was SO time consuming even with the rocks out! Keeping the water and sand is the best option. Just make sure you have filter socks ready.
