C- clamps to the wall with some type of lag bolt or toggle will hold a great amount of weight.
I used 3/4" galvanized pipe and dropped a smaller diameter wrought iron inside. I clamped the pipe to the stand but can easily have done it to the wall.
Easy solution to move your stand with water and all.
Remove as much water and rock as possible during a large water change. Have someone super strong lift the tank at least a 1/2" and place furniture sliders under each corner. Slide the entire setup to do your thang.
I have done this with over 1000 lbs. the very first time. 90 gallon full with rocks and everything 2 feet forward in my kids room with a fowlr.

If you have at least 5 or so of clearance behind the tank you can use a lag bolt and a socket wrench to turn the bolt. Of course you gonna need the shortest bolt you can find because of the space. Place a fry bar or a wood, preferably 1X between the wrench and the wall and put pressure against the wrench. Now start screwing the bolt, it may only take a few turn or so to get the bolt going. Then you just take the fry bar out of the way.
This is exactly what I did when I forgot to drill a pilot hole for the hanger when I built the stand. Have fun
