We ended up going with stained concrete in our whole family room and love it!

Stained concrete is really pretty. I wish we choose the stain instead of ceramic tile. No grout to seal and keep clean, especially with two teenagers running around......
We did the Coke color (rusty brown). It's great with kids, cats and fish tanks.

So, maybe a combo of tank close to new location and cheap holding tanks while you actually tile and setup tank in new location (later in the future, also shorter holding tank time).
Good luck with it all, and no...it never stops (the flushing sound from your wallet that is.

Ok heres what we are going to do. Setup the tank on the wrong wall. In a few months, tile the floor, slide the tank to the new spot, replumb, and put the new sand in at that time. Thanks guys!

Another idea to add to the plan is to add some heavy duty casters to your stand while you are in the process of moving everything to the new house. Then once you get the tile and plumbing work done and are ready to put it where you want it to go, all you have to do is disconnect the current plumbing and roll it over to it's new spot. The connect the new plumbing and you are done. Otherwise you will have a hard time sliding/moving a tank that big fully loaded, even just a few feet, without killing yourself or over stressing the tank.
