Well if you were to plumb them together before you moved the fish you wouldnt have to worry about cycling the new tank. The old tank would look after the bio-load.

Maybe, but on the other hand if the rock in the new tank causes any major spikes or problems (think of when Chin added just a few pieces of uncured rock to his large tank and he lost a lot of his nice fish) I could lose thousands of dollars in fish and corals. Not a risk I'm willing to take.
