you can put a garden hose from one tank to the other and then suck on it. You may have to have the 180 gal a bit lower to get a vacume going though. After you get that water in there just add tap. It should be a good enough mix to get the chlorine out. Just keep in mind the temp. I always add a few buckets of hot water to the tap to even it out.

Interesting except the above poster has only mentioned the water, which whilst 'nice' is not really useful.
If you will be using the same filter, then just move the filter and water to the new tank, and top up with dechlor water.
If you are using a new filter on the new tank, then you will still want to move the water and filter from the old tank to the new one, but then run both filters on the new tank for about a month to fully clone the new filter. You are safe to stock during this period as your 'old' filter is already cycled.
The water isn't really doing a whole lot for you, other than saving you dumping it all down the drain, then having to fill the new tank with entirely fresh water
