I did the switch over and currently have my fish, a bubble coral, and a couple of anenomes in a large tub with a power head, some live rock and a heater.......oh yeah and some saltwater too:D
I mixed 20 lbs of live sand and 40 lbs of aragonite sand for the bed.
After the change, the water is very cloudy as expected, I was wondering how long I should wait to put the tank inhabitants back in their home. I don't know how long it will take for everything to settle in there, and I don't know how long they will be safe in their temp home. Any thoughts? Should I wait till the tank water is clear, or will they be ok in the cloud?

Wait until your amonia and nitrite spikes drop. Adding a sandbed should have started a cycle.
