put a new sand bed in or leave it out. disturbing an established sand bed is a recipe for disaster.

I agree that moving sand beds is very touch and go however a new sand bed isn't really needed. I find that moving one gives you the opportunity to clean the sandbed. I find that if you leave about 1/4 to 1/3 of the water in the tank and stir the bed, you can drain the brown water. Now you can drain the rest of the waste water whil leaving most of the bio matter. Either way the sandbed will be starting over, so why not clean it.
Just my 2 cents.
Adidas, do small water changes over the next couple of weeks just to be safe.
