Moving to larger Mixed Reef Display

Current:

I have a 110gal that about 18mos old with about 150lbs of live rock. Have many LPS's and a few SPS's. 3 Anemone's and some snails. I run with a Refugium and H-52'a (2 on current and 4 on new).

Fish (16 current):

Purple Tang
Sailfin Tang
Yellow Tang
Mag Foxface
2 Yellow Chromis
2 Bartlet Anthias
2 Clowns hosting LTA
2 Benggai Cardinal
Solarnis Wrasse
Flame Hawk
Midas Blenny
Flame Angel

All fishes get along fine.

NEW TANK:

265gal. I have about 200lbs of live rock that has been cured and is siting in 100gal saltwater drums with good flow.

Wanting to add:

Achilles Tang
Naso Tang
6-8 Lyrtail Anthias
2-3 Bartlet Anthias
2 Clowns hosting another LTA
Mated Pair Angel (either Bellus or Lamarck)
Mated Hawaiian Flame Wrasse
Coral Beauty
Watchman Goby w/Pistol Shrimp
Bi-Color Blenny
Royal Gamma

and perhaps a couple other wrasses

I will have the existing 110gal and an additional 60gal QT at my avail not to mention the 265 thats about done.

What is the best process to move all livestock to the 265? I am trying to keep all the territorial fish from having said territory before adding new ones (less stress) in the new tank as well as keeping all corals healthy.

Obviously I would like everything to live as well as the new fish to be added without being attacked.

I have plenty of time and am in no rush...

Also, if anyone has some of these fish for sale I may be interested in purchasing.

Please advise.

Thank you.
