First double check with just fw to make sure your new setup is properly plumbed with no leaks. If everything is fine then:
I would have the new tank set up with about 1/2 full of new water and heated & circulated.
Then I would transfer everything on a different day than moving day (last thing you want is to add a huge tank change on moving furniture day).
Siphon out your tank water before you start moving anything - or it'll get all dirty and murky.
Use wheeled coolers if you have them to hold the corals and fish. The live rock can go into totes if you don't have enough coolers. Get everything transferred as quickly as possible.
Basically you'd be doing a big water change. Maybe have an extra 10-20g of new water in case what you saved from your old system is not enough to fill the new tank & sump.
Good luck. I have to big wheeled coolers if you need to borrow them but I'm in S. Burnaby.
