I'm in the process of upgrading my 75 gallon to a 125. Tank will be in a new room of the house, just hoping a few of you will have a few pointers for the move.

as new tank will be in a different room, that makes it easier as you can take your time plumbing it and making sure everything is OK before starting to move your inhabitants.
Watch out for the sand if it's an old DSB then it;ll have to be cleaned before moving it as it'll have a lot of detritus in it and also the lwoer areas of the DSB might be toxic tot he fish. This might cause a mini cycle when you start your new tank but if you have enough LR then it shouldn't be a problem. do yo uget to keep the 75 G tank?
Check out my build thread I have upgraded and then moved my tank without any losses on both occasions.
