Take out the fish, put them in buckets and remove all the decor and substrate. Rinse the sand in big tubs, put it in the aquarium, put the decor back in and fill with dechlored water at the right temp and put the fish back in. Just make sure you keep the filter media wet.
I agree spoonman and mgamer20o0, pfs would look better and I am not a fan of colored plants. Great looking tank though. Can't wait to see it with sand.
