I currently have (5) running aquariums ranging from 125g to 220g. What is the best way to relocate my fish and does anyone know of a company that will move them for me or will keep them until I get the tanks setup in my new home? I live in Detroit, Michigan.

If you have to move your self, get large rubbermaid containers, add water from your tank, and oxygen tabs, add fish and move tank. Don't clean any bio out of tank. Once you get set back up add fish let tank cycle for about a week then clean and do water changes. This is going to stress your fish, so doing this as quickly as possible is important. Oh-yeah do 1 tank at a time.

save as much water as you can to reduce stress. just mark what tank it came from. If you move them yourself either use electric from the trailer or get battery operated air pumps to keep them airated. DO NOT CLEAN THE FILTERS
 
it's good time to sell all 5 tanks and get a 5000g tank at your new place and all the fish go into the new tank :)

moving the tanks won't be too difficult but moving all those large size fish would be a pain.
