Default The Great Tank move....

I didn't have that problem because I used beach sand from Kellar Farms (a LFS in town).
There are no sediment issues.

How do you imagine starting new tank with DSB and the same day
put there live rock and animals? Wouldn't be milky cloud of silt in the
water covering everything with ugly, white deposit?

It would be even nicer if you could set up the new 45g tank in the future
location and let it cycle for 3 weeks or longer. However, even if you have to
move it in on the day you have to move, just start the new tank with a DSB.

Move all of your LR submerged in tank water. I used trashcans when I did it.
Move the rock into the new tank, then the livestock. Turn on the pumps and
filtration and lighting and heater. Done.

Feel free to read this page, because it does go into the exact same thing:
