easy, set up new tank with new sand, new water. put corals and fish in buckets with water swish rock off in old tank and put in bucket with wet newspaper and some water on it to keep it moist. load truck drive to new tank, put rock in, then corals and finaly fish. don't use old water or sand. due to the porosity of the rock it has a tone of backteria in it, where as the water colume has virtualy non compared to the rock. so you end up with a instant cycle and all is good.
