Why not do a water change in the 240 using hot water to get the temp you want, just before you do the move.
Obviously to keep it there you will need an extra heater.

This is what I would do, but I may not know all the circumstances. Drain 40-50gallons from the 240 and refill with hot water. This will raise the temp in the 240g.
Drain 30g of water from the 90g your aro is in and refill with water from the 240g. Now refill the 240g with water from the 90g. I would do this 5-6 times, this with equal the params in each tank.
For moving the aro I would drain the water in the 90 to about 8". Using a towel, lay across the bottom of one half your tank. Coax the aro over the towel and then pick up the towel at all four corners creating a sling. Move the aro to the new tank(assuming it is close). Move flters and heaters from the 90g to the 240g and the other fish.
Good luck with this.

Ya when I do this I actually use a pump. One time I even used a magnum 350 filter.

In the link is a claculator. I would run a pair of 250 watt stealths.

steath isnt around here and im broke so its cheap for me.lol
better then none.
they have a 300 watt for 35 bucks and a 400w for 40 bucks.
would a 400 work?

probably, i have 500w on my 240 and it keeps up easily, the calculator recommends a minimum of 244w for my tank, so assuming the temperatures are similar 400w should be fine, although it will be affected by tank material (glass/acrylic) and the lid you have
cool thanks DanProwse
just got back from petsmart
got the biggest they had,400w
i figure if a 200w does a 100g that a 400 would do a 240
brand is hydror theo
box says max 105g tank tho.lol
