Yikes! That is a LOT of tangs for about 50 US Gallons. (I hear the sirens of the tang police coming....)
It sounds like you are committed to figuring this all out. That is a lot of tanks, so clearly you are passionate. Hang in there, keep asking questions. We are here for moral support!
Welcome to the fishy family!!

Thank you for the kind words. Well I just bought an 800 litres tank now just have to figure out how to move my smaller tank aside for the moment plumb the big tank and start the cycling. Then move all my fish on it. Then further like really really further down the track add some live corals.

Yikes - flashbacks. I did that - scary moment. I had a 45 gallon bowfront on a dresser that I planned to repurpose for my 90. I half drained the 45. I then dragged an end table from the bedroom in front of the tank - it was 5" lower. In my head, it would be easy peasy to slide the tank forward onto the end table. So half filled, with live rock and fish ... glass ... alone... yeah. that was terrifying. This is a do as I say, not a do as I did moment. My sit almost ended badly.
However you move it, drain as much as you can first and don't be too proud to have help.

Good luck! Get that build thread going and let us know how you are doing!!
