Aussie Peninsular New Build

Ok,
I don't know why really, but I suppose the fish & corals need more room. The current tank has filled quickly. Its a 7 x 2.5 x 2.5 Peninsular
The fish are growing fast and we are selling corals right left and center to create room. We thought it would take forever to fill this tank, but it appears we are slightly more addicted than we thought.


This will be a much harder upgrade than the last. , the tanks were in different spots in the house last time. Easy to set up and move over.
This time, new tank is going in the same place as the old. Not easy at all.

So we are going to a new 8 x 4 x 2.2.Star-Fire Peninsular
Tank will be 19mm base 15mm all round star-fire with top euro bracing and cross brace. Will also have a bottom circle bracing in 15mm for extra strength.

The build is taking some time to plan so we have requested a build start date of mid January to give us time to work on the logistics.
It was recommended by more than one builder to have it built in our home as it is too large to easily transport & lift. So this is what we will do.

Advice & Ideas Please.
After some great ideas on how to move current tank to a different location, but continue it running for the next few months ?
Also after pros and cons of Closed loop flow as opposed to tunze etc. Bearing in mind this tank will also be view-able from 3 sides.

We actually taped the new tank out around the old tank on the floor last night, and wow this is going to be some bloody move.
The white tape is the new tank (little hard to see on tiles) , and clearly you can see the current tank in the pics.

This is the tank that we have sold !
