For a move that far, I would recommend getting a big power inverter, so that you can run heaters and bubblers/powerheads. Throw the sand away. And get the biggest bins that you can so that there is maximum water volume for the fish (so that harmful levels of phosphates/ammonia etc. build up slower). Keep the most aquarium water that you can, and make sure that you can make up a fresh batch of satlwater quickly when you arrive at your destination to fill up the aquarium.
Follow that, and you should be fine. I've also used glass aquariums with a plastic wrapped tops (selephane sp.?) thats taped to the top. make a small hole the in the middle to vent. I used a heater and air pump w/stone and did a 3 hour drive. It worked flawlessly.
