New Tank Transfer

I currently have a 75 gallon tank built into a wall and I recently purchased a 120 gallon tank to replace it. I have prepared the wall/opening for the new tank dimensions. Now comes the fun part of transferring the water and inhabitants. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas while performing this transfer?

Thanks

Todd

The transfer process is really dependant on a couple of things like:

1. Is the new tank going to go through a cycle (due to the addition of a lot of new uncured liverock)?
2. How much of the current substrate and rock is going to be transferred?
3. How much new water are you going to have to use?
