Default Moving

Ok, I am moving my tank tomorrow, I know this is late notice. I believe I have everything I need....I have moved a fw 55g cichlid take 3 times before so I kinda have an idea, however; this is my first sw move I am basicly draining the tank, keeping all the water, moving, and setting back up. I got a big cooler and a bunch of bags to keep the fish and corals and to keep temp. After I set back up using all the water drained from the tank(I bought 5 5g gas cans to hold the water)....how big of a cycle will my tank go through?? I have a 24g nano. When the cycle is over what livestock should I add first? Fish, corals, or clam? What would the best order be? And how long will the livestock in the bags be o.k.? Should I set them up in buckets with air pumps or just leave them in the bags. I figured they would be ok in the bags because thats usually how they all get shipped here in the first place. Any advice or pointers from you old-timers is much appreciated.
