Is there a tank swap/upgrade article/thread?

I haven't seen one on the equipment section or any of the other forums. The rip clean sand article is good but I'm surprised there isn't one for all of the points you need to consider when you upgrade/change your tank.

Changing an aquarium with or without changing sizes seems like starting a new aquarium with live rock. Are you looking for best practices for such a change?

I just thought there would be a guide to best practices for minimising stress and parameter swings, practical tips for physically moving the livestock/rock/substrate and tanks etc.
I figured as there is a guide to a lot of rare, weird and wonderful things in the forums that something as common as a tank upgrade/change would have it's own article. But if it's a simple as you say, perhaps that's why there isn't.

The rip clean threads are pretty inclusive. I used them w success when I was forced to upgrade through a tank failure
