So i am moving in 2 weeks. my 75 community will be moved to a 120. ok the trip is about 14 miles from current home, I plan to use battery operated pumps to keep my sponge filters running and will keep my media from the ACs in the bucket with the active sponge filters. I know the fish go last but this is my plan, since the 120 will be set up from scratch(well except cycled filter). I will add the new gravel needed and fill tank with new water. let the water heat ofcourse, then where i am a bit hung up, do i try to get the old gravel from the tank first or last.. trying to save money so adding some new gravel but i have alot already in 75. then I will go get the fish, in buckets/ i do have a few plastic tubs that are bigger. I will place the fish in tank then aquascape. I have never did anything like this so forgive the newb stuff. if i move the filters in moving tank water with sponges going then set them in tank qucickly, will I loose my cylce, I can always bring over my platies when I am putting filters up so they can keep the bio going while I am back forth getting the rest of the fish.
moving the tank to another place plus upgrade, cycle?

old style, posted on it a while back, i know it is 72" long, ergh for got the rest. at first I thought that is was a 75, long but after several tank calculators it is a 120, I assume it is an old tank, it is euro braced and most 120s i see have the 75 lengh. yes a fx5 or a xp4 will accompany the Ac110 once i can afford one, I dont plan to add any stock till i get a canister. I know its width and depth are close to a 75s but not exact. It is an odd tank for sure.
Then it is a 125, 120s are ethir 60x18x26 or 48x24x24, 72x18x22s are 125s... Anyway you got lucky, 50 more gallonsif its costum it could be 120 though,
There are many custom tanks out there so don't assume oscaroo. You can buy 6 foot 75 gallon on glasscages.com.
