I upgraded from a 58g to my new 120g tank last week and have about 2" sand, I have since decided to go bare bottom, can I remove the sand without removing the LR etc?

Get some tubing and create a syphon. I attached some tubing to a plastic rod (that you'd make rock pillars with) and ran the tubing down to the sump with a filter sock on it. I use this method to get algae/detritus out. I'm sure you could use it for sand as well, just watch out how much sand fills up in the sock and be sure to change it out periodically.
