Tank Transfer
If i move my old tank water, my old live rock, and some of my old live sand.
Will my new tank cycle, since im shutting down my old tank i want to move my lights to the new tank and move my coral. can this be done without killing my lps and leathers and zoas?\ also my diamond sandsifter. |
You will get some sort of cycle happening over the move. I moved all my stuff from my 33 gallon to my 125 gallon a few years back, and nothing died, but things weren't too happy for a while. I would set up the larger set up and slowly transfer some rock/sand to the new setup over time to be safe.

I have done this quite a few times during tank upgrades and have had no losses.

I will most likely get a small cycle, as you will be stirring up diutris and other pollutants, but IMO it won't be like a cycle on a fresh/new tank.
I have seen/heard others do this without issue. |

But...I would replace the sand with clean washed sand. There'll be a small "New Tank Cycle/Syndrone" but it should steady itself without causing any losses or too much stress to the inhabitants. This has been my experience. |
