Moving tank advice needed (am going bigger!)

Hi. I need to move my aquaone 300 to another location in the room to make way for my upgrade. Once I’ve emptied and drained display and sump can I just slide over in one go or should I undo plumbing first? Sorry am clueless lol!

If its all movable in one shot then do that..
I've moved whole systems with those carpet sliding "pucks" you can buy and just get them under the 4 corners and slide away..

But you certainly don't want to impart stresses on plumbing so if the system is in individual pieces and would not move as a single body then disconnecting plumbing may be smart..

Just use common sense..

Um. . . less is more but impossible is impossible. Try the A plan but be ready for the B plan.

If you can slide, slide away. I moved my SCA rimless about a month ago, could not slide as it sits on a riser, so we did a 3 piece move, down and back up again...
