Newb with a new nano on it's way, how to make the switch?

[breebauer]

Hi folks!

I've been lurking and researching here for quite a while, but rarely ask any questions. (Usually I found my answers, so there was no need to.) This time is different, I'll give you a little background:

I restarted my tank a few months ago, long story short, it became a nano reef tank, even though that wasn't the plan. Lighting has always been a problem, and now I've finally bought myself a present- a 12gal AquaPod w/ 70 watt HQI lighting t ofix that problem. It's not here yet, I just bought it online an hour ago, but I'm already worrying about how I'm going to switch everything over from the original tank to the new tank, without spending a fortune, and letting it cycle for a month. I'm also concerned about light acclimiating the corals to the new strong lighting. (I only have 36watts in a 10 gal now.)

My livestock currently consists of:
15lbs or more of LR
a bunch of zoas
some hairy mushrooms
a torch coral
a frogspawn
2 hammers
a kenya tree
a very sad bubble coral
an open brain
a feather duster
1 flowerpot coral, assuming I keep it alive long enough
a few hermits
2 firefish

My question is- how do you suggest that I transition everything to my new tank, without killing what I already have?

Fortunately (or not) we do have another semi-established SW tank that I can use temporarily, providing that I put up a wall or some thing to put the fish in, and the corals too, if I need to.

The semi-established SW tank is our 'local tank' that I've had no part in building or maintaining, but I have no problem using half of it for a few days if I have to. The fish in there are an unknown species, so I'd be reluctant to house my livestock in there without some type of barrier. (I'm sure that I can make some kind of open barrier.)

Should I move and acclimate all of the live stock to a temporary section of the 'local tank' and then move my LR, and LS to the new tank, and then wait a few days, and then move the livestock in? That's my only idea so far...

I got so excited about the new tank, that I forgot to plan the whole switch. I think I need to figure this out before it shows up on my doorstep.

I'm very open and appreciative of any suggestions!!
