i had the same problem you have except mine was a 120gal. i just carpeted around the tank, saves alot of trouble and time and besides you really prefer not to put a tank on top of carpet, which causes imbalance (always better to have a solid surface) IMO.
but if you have to move it, there is no really easy way to do it.
would have to empty the tank, put all live stock in buckets and put the whole thing back together when the floor is done. if it was hard wood floors you were installing then you can prob empty half the tank then push and slide it but since its carpet theres no way to do it .

lol come on.... carpet will not cause instability, were talking of tanks of over 1000lbs.... it crushes the carpet so fast it practicly is on the base board or concrete below.
