Ok, I'm finally moving. I currently have a 29 gal bowfront and a 20 regular set-up. Both have DSB's and have been established over 3 years. I don't have all the equipment yet for the 125 so I can't just start it up right now. I have about 60 - 70 lbs of dry rock in a plastic storage container with no water sitting in garage. I plan on dissolving the 20 into the 29 and just running that one tank until I set up the big one. I will place all coral and fish, along with some of the live rock into the 29. I plan on putting the remainder of the live rock in the storage container with the dry rock and filling with sw and putting in a powerhead. I also have about 75 pounds of dry sand that I got from a friends tank. I dried it out and have rinsed it in buckets with fresh water and dried again. Should I seed this sand now with a scoop from one of my tanks and start cycling it or should I leave it dry and seed it later once I -place it in the new tank?
Also, should I leave the DSB in the 29 gal tank and just fill back up with water, rock and all inhabitants or should I buy new live sand?
