moving

Does anyone have some advice in moving a tank? We are moving to a new house so its a big job. I have a 55 gallon with 40 pounds sand (live) and about #40 LR. A couple corals a BTA and a crab, shrimp and one fish. I left it understocked because I knew the move was coming. I have a 20 gallon that I can use for whatever.

I thought I would move everything into the 20 and then set the 55 up at the new house then take everything over in buckets. Does this sound like a ok idea? I know that the sand and the rock needs to be kept most and warm and the inhabitants obviously. I would really like not loose the life in my sand its taken almost a year to get this tank under control.

Thanks for advice,
Kelly
