Default New Tank!!

After a few months of reading, browsing the internet, and trying to decide what I wanted, I finally took the plunge this week and bought a 54g reef tank.
I ended up buying the setup Brian (orion) had advertised on here a month or so ago. It looks great and I'm real excited...
Inspite of my excitment, Im also concerned about the upcoming move - as the tank is up and running, with fish, corals, and live rock. I've been following the thread on moving tanks, so i've already got a lot of the input on getting it done - I'm planning the move for late next week, so I've still got lots of time for prep, and it seems like that's the most important thing.
One of the issues I'm still mulling over is whether to keep the DSB or not. Would the move be a good time to remove it, (if that's the thing to do), or would this just be an added stress to the system? It's a good 3" deep, and I think I'd like <1". I could put some in the middle section of the sump, and phase it out slowly....? I was also considering the option of putting miracle mud in the sump....
Obviously, I"ve got lots to think about befor next week rolls around. Sure is exciting though! Any suggestions would be great.
