* I am planning on using all my existing rock and sand into the new tank. Any suggestions on how to move it without loses?

Yep, ok.. this is a bit complicated.. so stay with me here... firs think you want to do is roll up your sleeve, then reach in the old tank, then grab a rock, then pull it out, then place it in the new tank, then repeat until all old rock is in new tank, then dry arm....lmao.. sry.. just having some fun.. no, moving the rock over is no big deal. you can store it in if you need to temporarily. they can be placed in there dry for a bit with no immediate impact, but would be best to place in water if you can.

* I am planning on a week period between I have salt water running (with some damsels) with half of my rock and moving everything at once. does this sound reasonable?

you should wait until the cycle is done. and use shrimp, not damsels, unless you plan on keeping them long term. even then i always prefer using raw shrimp from the market. place a piece in there for 3-5 days, then pull it out and wait.
