This is about what I did my last tank move.
I used the old water that I was replacing to rinse the sand. If it's been around a while, you'll get a ton of crap out of it.
Pour a gallon into the bucket of sand, stir it around, pour off the dirty water, repeat.

Shouldn't be to hard to move. I'd suggest having plenty of pre mixed salt water heated and ready to go at the new house if possible. Enough that if in the following days you need to do any water changes you will already have it ready.
When we moved I bagged all our corals and fish separately. This way nothing touches anything else and there is not risk of corals stinging each other. I'd put the rocks in a bucket with enough water to cover them, the bags with fish and corals in a cooler.
