Does that make sense?
I usually try to keep as much of my old water as possible, however if its super dirty I will toss it. I wait until the end though to toss the old water, just in case. Also make sure you have new salt water on hand for the move.
As for the sand, there are lots of methods so I don't really want to comment. In the past I have always left some water to cover the sand if I'm just moving the tank. Otherwise I just keep a few cups and start a new sandbed.

Is it cool to use large rubbermaid tubs and new garbage cans for a temp setup? I've got extra powerheads and heaters already.
The tank has only been running for 6 months, so the sand is pretty new, and pretty damn clean (to my eye), its a nice bright white, doesn't seem to be alot of crap in it. Am I stil running a big risk f I use it again? I'm trying to keep the budget down so I'd rather not buy another 60lbs
