How do you move your tank?

I wouldn't use the heater unless you think he'll be exposed to temps under 65 for a long time. Your just moving 12 blocks not across the state.
I just moved my 20 gallon tank (har har I am away from home and this is all I can have right now 
) What I did was buy a big plastic storage container some ziplock bags and a few jugs to hold water. It is very important to keep as much of the old water as possible. I kept about half of it. Also make sure you keep your filter media wet, I took all my media out and kept it with the aquarium water in a ziplock bag. I then took out my fish and put them in ziplock bags, I then put all the bags into the plastic rubbermaid and lined it with newspaper for insulation. I drained the rest of my aquarium water and moved my tank. You could do this with a bigger tank but it will just be more work.

Maybe set it low low like 72 even then the temperature fluctuations will be muccchhh bigger than in an 80 gallon tank. Just get a 5 gallon bucket with lid drill hole for an air stone and keep it as warm as possible without having to heat the water up with a heater. He should be ok for a day in the bucket plenty of time to move the tank and equipment.
