I have a Trachyphyllia and unfortanantly I have to move him into my cycling tank.
Ammonia about 20
Nitrite about .50
Nitrate 10
Calcium perfect
There is some brown algae growth

It will be going in a 35 gallon tank with 2x96 watt pc lighting,
Some live rock moslty base though. 5-6 pounds live sand.
Temp between 79 and 84
Moderate flow and remora hang on skimmer
Cheap filtration to dose carbon as well

Do you think it will be ok?
It was expensive and would like to not risk its life!!!
Thanks for any insight, advice, and thoughts...

Hmmm....no, I would definitely not risk moving it into a tank with ammonia of ~20. No way. JMO. Why do you have to move it into your cycling tank at this time (as opposed to after it's done cycling)?

Yeah...it's certain death. Just tell your friend you can't move it and he's going to have to wait a few more weeks.
