new tank, new sand, new live cured rock from friends live rock, recycled tank water (see im being green minded lol). ill still wait just to be sure. i dont want to rush it. even though i want to. last thing i want to o is make a fish suffer dueu to impatience but i did expect a quick cycle with using therecycled tank water from water changes.

Sounds like a simple transfer. I've done it several times with out any losses or negative effects. I usually replace half of the sand. Your tank is'nt that old so your sandbed should'nt be too bad to deal with. Just plan well ahead and have everything ready to make it a quick and easy job. Don't let everybody get you all stressed out and worried about H2S and all that other crap. It's pretty simple and within a day everything should look good.
