    I know what you mean, my 150 is 48x24x30 and when I upgrade again (still want to go bigger ) I want to keep the 24 inch width and 30 inch height.

    Move the tank 1st or last by itself without all your other belongings. This way it is all you are focusing on at the time and you get as right as possible. If you plan on placing the rock back as you have it now, take lots of pics. It will be a pain in the arss, but worth it especially if you have corals that have incrusted them selves on various rock.

    Oh and take it slow and be prepared with various pumps, extra water for water changes etc. Helping hands are always a + when moving a tank.

    Pre make enough water to fill the tank a couple days in advance and on location of where the new tank is to be set up. put the fish and corals into buckets for transport, move it as fast as possible. try to get a 100gl tub ready incase something goes wrong to put the fish and corals in untill the tank is ready, you don't need lights if only for a few days. Put some algea covered rocks with the fish for a few days untill they are aclimated to the new set up if you have herbavores. The grazing and live algea helps releive the stress in some fish.
