Fish in a bucket with a heater and airstone. Corals in a heated bucket. Keep rocks wet and you'll be fine. I moved my 60g a little over a year ago and had no casualties. I had plenty of saltwater mixed and heated waiting at the new house.

Shouldn't be a problem. Just be careful with the coral. Bag the fish. If you have sand, bring that too. I would even suggest rinsing the sand with saltwater before putting back in the tank. Why move the dirt?

I have moved a tank from Texas to Florida with no issues.

Get 2 15 gal brute containers and put rock and most of the water in them with heaters to keep temperature stable cover them with lids and you can bag the fish and put corals in a rack in a container with tank water. Leave sand in tank with enough water to cover the sand.
you’re lucky is only 15 minutes so temperature shouldn’t drop too hard depending on where you live but after just put water back on tank and get temperature back to normal in tank and then just float the fishes/corals after systems up and running and the tank has cleared
