Moving established 55 gal reef setup across town

I am moving this 55 gal reef setup about 30 miles and need some advice on doing it safely. I've read some of the other posts about getting large tubs from walmart and bagging the fish and coral. Any particular kind of tubs will work? I plan on putting LR and water in them. Do I need to wrap LR in newspaper for such a short trip?

Also, there is currently crushed coral in the tank and I would like to switch to sand. Live sand or argonite....what's the best?

Will this cause a problem with my tank (bacteria levels) when it is back set up even if I'm using all the same filter and LR. No new LR or fish will be added.

Do I need to cure the LS....for how long? I've read how. Just nervous about move.

Any other advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
