When I removed my SB from a 20gal tank, I removed as much water as I could first, as well as everything else except the sand. All I was left with was the sand and about 1/2 inch of water... took it outside.. tipped the tank and slopped it into buckets.. washed it out.. put everything into the new 50 gal tank. Put in the old water and topped up with new water.. worked like a charm. No deaths and everyone was happy.
