so I'm moving my 9 year old setup from a 30 gallon standard that I was using a canister filter and hob skimmer to a 54 gallon corner setup with overflow and sump. I'm going with a filter sock to start and new sand for the majority but my question is around the break in period. If I put a few cups of the old sand and some of my live rock in the sump and tank, how long of a cycle do you think I will have? I have a month to get this moved but I want to make sure that we're good. I could put an extra power head in my old tank and move the canister filter over as well for awhile but just want some thoughts/tips/tricks. My 8 year old clowns and sebae nem will thank you!
