    since your moving you should wait to buy untill after the move.i'm sure you have'nt realized yet how heavy that tank is.you will need several people to move it and you could damage it.wait to buy till after the move and see if they deliver.then if something happens during delivery its all on them.they may even help hook up a few things.that would make paying a bit more worth while.i don't know how far your moving but you may want to look for better stores in that area 1st.one last thing.if you buy any used tanks,please make sure they have never been set up as a fresh water tank.fresh water tank users often use medications for their fish that will stay in the tank and hurt a reef.
