-First drain some existing tank water into a pail or cooler and move the fish into that. Leave the corals for now.
-Second I would suggest taking all the live rock that is NOT sitting in any sand and moving it over to the new tank then siphon the existing tank water over to the new tank. Do not move the rocks sitting in the sand or disturb the sand itself.
-Third make sure your mechanical systems are running properly in your new setup
-Fourth transfer the fish into the new tank
-Fifth transfer the corals into the new tank

After that let your new setup settle down for a few days and the fish get used to their new place while you clean up the broken tank and deal with what is left in there.

Basically set up your new tank as a bare bottom live rock system.
