I moved Jan. 17th. I sold my house and had to stay at my moms until April 9th. I had a 125 gallon that was a full blown reef. I took it all down and split the fish, corals, live sand (everything I should say) between 3 smaller tanks because my moms floor would not hold a 125 . I built a new house and I am just starting to move EVERYTHING to the new house., During the move everything did very very well. no losses. I did the same as you, Use as much water as possible from the main tank. I did the same as you and got rid of some unwanted apstasia and algae. As for the sand ( that is a little tougher. ) Put the sand in first and use a bowl of some sort , set it on the sand and pour water into bowl instead of right onto sand. I had very little disturbance to the sand. I am in the process of building my new 265 gallon into the wall and hopefully will soon start to move my livestock all back. It has been along process.Good luck.
