I just moved a 120g last weekend and we just drrained the water in the tank into 5g jugs and put the live rock in 5g buckets with some tank water also and didnt lose anything except for a single magician poly;)What kind of water did you use to rinse your sand with??Also rinsing and scrubbing your LR will kill some of the goodies you need in your tank and dead things can cause other things to die too(raise in nitrates)I think you may have over done the cleaning of things and "may" have to go through a cycle again(JMO)
