Default Tips for moving a tank/livestock

As the house nears completion (new build), I gotta start a gameplan to move my tank.

As it stands now, its a DIY 9 gallon cube, mainly zoas, acans, gorgonians, softies.

Wut would the most efficient way to dismantle and transport everything?

I have it sorta planned like this:
a) I made a frag bucket with stackable frag racks to put the coral in. Will use 1/2 tank water, half new water in it to transport. put coral in here.
b) seperate container for live rock, new water
c) DiY fish container with dividers to keep the fish seperated. Fish in here with remaining tank water and some new water.
d) drain remaining water in tank, maybe a little to cover the live sand. not gonna remove but just move in tank as is.
e) Hope for the best.

Will be bummed for about 1/3rd of a second if i lose any coral/fish so any advice from anyone whos moved a tank!!
Blessed in the fact that its a small tank, so any loss will be minimal to the wallet side of things!

The other dilemma i face is that i move the 29th of sept. and take possession on Oct.2. meaning for those few days, I gotta find a way to either set up temporarily or find someone to to at least house the fish (a small maroon clownfish, a sunrise dottyback and a scooter blenny, hermits, a coral banded shrimp and a mithrax crab.

thank for any thought/advice!!!
