3 Tanks Into 1 Question

Looks like I am going to pull the trigger on a 105gal Deep sea aquatics rimless tank. I just have a few questions. I have a 30,29 cube, and 55 gal tanks. I would like to combine all the rocks I have into one. All the tanks are established. They all use the same water and are pretty much the same. What is the best way to do it? Also should I get new sand for the tank or can I use the old sand from the tanks? Just want to make sure I do it right the first time. Thanks in advance
 
I would setup the new tank with fresh saltwater and new sand. once it clears up and temp is good I would move the live rock over and then acclimate all corals and fish to the new water. when you remove the rock work from the old tanks just refill with the same fresh saltwater you put in the new tank. Kind of like a 20% water change. Then you can take a cup out put a cup in of water every 15 minutes. for like a hour then move stuff over. I have done transfer like this in the past and it was not that bad. This way you have time to play the aquascaping and not stress to much that all your fish and corals are in the bins and buckets.

Sounds like a plan! Thanks!
