So update. There will be a ton of photos to follow. I ended up working from 4pm -3 am fri, then 11 am -3:30am Sat, with help from 3-9:30pm from a friend. (I had moved all but the 250 fish.) When he left I had fun moving those fish and realizing that I suddenly had a discus that died and all my others were showing bad signs... I quickly tossed them into the 135 that was now about 1/2 full of water that had warmed up. I figure they just didn't get enough 02 since I put a ton of plant, not bubler (2 xp3 but I didn't think to set it up for water agitaion) and other fish all in a 55. I am sort of pissed about that mistake.
Anyways after catching that and fixing it I also seem to be loosing some cool kellies. (Yah yah not monsters but we all need our little tank that isn't jut a fry tank.)
But back to the story I then took the now empty 55 and had fun tearing apart my 250's filtration... geting gross water everywhere I may add. (I did clean it up, and prof carpet cleaners will be in there likely Tue.) But yah getting that 250 to a state to move it took a lot of work and much more time.
Then today (sun) I started a 9, (all fish have already been move just an empty 250, and lots of little things...) I had 3 friend come over to move the 250... I forgot to take pictures since we were so intent on moving it without anyone getting hurt not to mention the tank. (The cool thing is that I used that tall cart to hold the tank, since it is made to hold heavy uhv equipment.) It went perfectly and within 20 minutes the stand and tank were setup in its new place.
I still have to do some things to get plumbing up, and seeing as there is no rush it likely wont happen till ~tue or later.
Anyways we finished moving everything else by 4, and then I had to clean the apartment... I finished ~8. So needless to say I am tired, and not willing to get the desktop setup so I can post some more pictures.
BUT I do have to say don't every move a 75 by yourself... I did and nothing broke... but well I would never ever do it again.
And thanks for the comments, don't worry plenty of photos are to come. (Oh and I do have a python I just don't tend to use it to fill tanks, only empty, I am a little crazy on wanting to treat the water first.)

You had an awesome setup, I'm sure the new one will be even better with the new room.
I will still use socks for the pre filtering, then there are course sponges and less course (about the same types that come with the xp3) and then the finer stuff that I may or may not keep in. Finally a full 20 gallon rubbermaid of bio material with ~400 gallons of bio material rocks. I put 3 bubbler wands on the bottom.
