My suggestions are as follows:
Make a list of everything you have in the tank and keep it handy when taking down tank so nothing is forgotten. The rock could be kept in large plastic containers from home depot or such. You don't have to completely fill these up with water. Just place wet newspaper throughout. Get plenty of large plastic bags from your lfs(rubber bands also), they could also provide you with styrofoam containers that they receive with shipments of fish you'll use these for all your livestock. Bag corals in their own separate bags and the same goes with the fish. Hermits of same type can be bagged together. I would keep shrimp in separate bags as well. Sand can be put in separate plastic container or such. Try to empty tank completely so there is no unnecessary stress put on the glass while moving. Most of your water will probably be bagged with fish and corals but you will need a separate container for the rest. Hope everything goes well!!!
