Reef Moving Day - Suggestions Needed

[Joe's Coral Reef]

I have a 34 g nano I'll be moving today. It's packed with Frogspawn and one clown. I've gather extra water and lots of buckets. Any suggestions on how to move a reef tank?

I don't have allot of sand, but I don't plan on reusing it.

Depends on how far you are moving?
Coral into a cooler with water. Fish into a bucket.
Have enough water to fill it back up when you get there

10 miles. I was thinking of reusing the tank water with part new? Bad? I just emptied tank any car is loaded up.

Put air stone with battery operated pump to each container with live stock. Also, a digital thermometer to check the temperature. They should be good if you are moving within an hour drive but over that you need more precautions like ammonia formation.

You can use some part of old water and little of you old sand mixed with new sand to seed.

Thanks for the tips.
Well, it's moved. Just a little bit of chaos. I couldn't fit the rock piece in any of the buckets, so I had to break off some of it. The Frogspawn, had to be broken into pieces. The colony was just massive.

I've dosed with some prime and planned to do another water change tonight.
I just didn't have enough water, the roto mold container I had wound up leaking at the bulkhead plug. So when I came today, most of the water had leaked all over the basement floor.
I was also thinking of running carbon?
