Sounds good

I haven't done it yet, but if I were to, I would just;
Take all critters out of tank and add to tubs/buckets etc to keep warm and aerated
Remove old DT and Turf sand
Move new tank into place, fill etc
Add new sand
Move critters back to DT

So many peeps have had no issues doing this

The only time I've read of issues is when things get moved from house to house, or city to city
Or things get forgotten/left in environments they can't handle

Basically, you need to keep the water warm and aerated, and don't keep stuff out of the water for much more than a few minutes
