All fish and inverts can be bagged up seperatly...Live rock can be wrapped in wet newspaper if its not possible to transport them in a container of tank water. If you can bring the tank water with you, then go for it.

I would probably be tempted to replace the sandbed being as though the tank is going to be completly stripped down for the move...just keep a few cup fulls of the top inch to spread on the new sand bed.

Your going to experience a mini-cycle when you set it all back up, so, be ready with fresh new saltwater for emergency changes...You should be fine, just take it steady..
