Hi
I finally got a 120 gallon tank kit (a complete set up) which was on sale at PetSmart.
First I moved the existing tank out of the way after draining most of the water which was canister cleaning day coincidentally.
Next morning I attached the new backdrop I made with fabric attached with spay adhesive to foam core. I also soaked and scrubbed new river stones I purchased from a landscaping supply place. Moved the new tank in the place of the old and attached power strips inside cabinets. I rinsed the pool filter sand and put that in, positioned stones where I wanted, filled with RO, spring water I had on hand, and equal amounts of tap water (my first time ever with using tap). I dosed Prime and put new canister filter to run over-night. The old tank still hold my fish and has the established canister and bubbler plugged in with a heavy-duty extension cord for over-night.
Below are pics of the complete transfer to the new tank. I'm excited and exhausted. First pic was old tank before the move.
These are the process of moving to the new tank:
