Hello, all.
I have a quick question that I haven’t been able to find a direct answer for by doing a search. Hopefully you all can help me out.
I currently have an established 29g tank with 20lbs of sand and 30lbs of live rock. I want to upgrade to a 93g which will go in the same spot as the 29g. I plan to add dry rock and sand (from Marco Rocks), and once the dust settles, add my livestock.
I guess what I’m asking is: is it prudent to transfer everything over without waiting a few weeks for a “cycle” to take place in the new tank? I figure that since I’m not adding any “new” live rock or sand that it should be okay.
I would appreciate your comments. Thank you.
