Changing Tanks - Few Questions

I may have to move an established (1 year) tank to a new one. What can I do to ease the process? Can live sand be added to the new tank without any waiting or cycling process? Can medium grade aragonite be used instead? Can water, rock fish and corals simply be moved over? Thanks in advance.

its much easier if u setu the new tank and cycle it then move the livestock over but if u are not doing that then moving the sand can cause nasty to stir up and cause some problems.
