I moved my 38 gal twice in a few months last year, with only one loss (my cleaner shrimp)
We took all the rock out and put in rubbermaid containers with tank water. Put all the fish in a 5 gal bucket with water, inverts in another tank.
Basicly left all the sand in and moved it like that.
Once set up at the new locations, we poured fresh saltwater in, (about 10 gal) set-up the rock, then added the rock water back in, then added fish, got pumps going, then did a drip on the inverts for an hour or so, and we were good to go again.
