whos upgraded tanks before looking for advice

Why add rock covered in aiptasia and algae into a new system? It seem odd to start of fresh tank with a battle.

Agreed. I would suggest you fix up that rock before you put it in the new tank. Do you have a few pieces of rock you could steal from the 35 for in the new 80? You can also remove say 15 gallons from the 80, store it in a container while you remove 15 gallons from the 35. Then use the "new" clean water from the 80 for in the 35, and the old aged water from the 35 into the 80.
