Exactly Doug, there probably is no "RIGHT" way to move a tank, it how the inhabitants decide to take it. I have done it once with my SW tank. I had to move it from the office to my basement tank as I was having major algae problenms and I wanted to tear it down to redo it as nothing I did helped clear the algae bloom (and I mean it was a BLOOM) I think I lost 1 fish in the deal, and I was going from main floor to basement, I also did not move any sandbed, just the rocks that were clean, the fish and the water
Doug - > the pics will be online later with you doing the syphon 
All in All Tony I think it went well considering some of the casualties
