I currently have a 20 gallon long that has been setup/cycled for 6 months and am upgrading/starting a 125 in the next couple weeks and am trying to figure out the best plan of attack for cycling the new 125 while using components from the 20 gallon. I only have a dusky wrasse, cleaner shrimp, some snails and coral in the 20 gallon, which I plan to move over once the 125 is ready to go. I am going to put 80 lbs of caribsea live sand and 60 lbs of dry caribsea rock into the 125 as well as moving over 20ish lbs of cycled live rock from my current tank. I was planning on still using turbo start for the new aquarium unless you think differently? I am keeping the 20 gallon up and running after the fact, so i don't need to rush moving fish/corals over but the sooner the better as i'd like to start making the 125 the main tank. I am planning on using a new 29 gallon with the fiji cube sump baffle kit as the sump for the 125 and I have a few pieces of rubble in my current filter that I was thinking of putting in the sump of the 125. Should I move the dusky wrasse over when i start cycling the 125 or get some clownfish and put those in? I am planning on getting some clownfish for the new tank at some point regardless. Any help and tips is very greatly appreciated. I am quickly learning there is a bit more to a 125 with a sump vs a 20 with a HoB filter haha.
TL/DR
I am planning on cycling a 125 with turbo start, 80 lbs caribsea live sand, 60 lbs dry caribsea live rock and 20 lbs live rock from current cycled tank and possibly some rubble in the new sump. Looking for any tips/info on cycling a new (bigger) tank while using some items from a smaller cycled tank.
Thank you!
