I am upgrading from a 150 to a 180g. I am planning on transferreing all the water, sand live rock and coral from my 150 and place it in my new tank. This is the first time I ever xferred a tank like this. What kind of cycling if any can I expect.
Also I currantly have a MH Sunpd over my 150 the wattage is 3 bulbs of 150W the tank dimensions are 6' long by about 27" tall and 17' deep. The new tank is 6'x2'x2' will these lights work or do I need to upgrade? I have all types of coral from soft to hard, including a couple of clams. I am looking to get more into the hard corals though.
 
Im not quite sure about the cycle, some cycle, some dont. You definitely need to upgrade the 150s, if youre 27" tall. Id go at least 250w. You could probably get away with using them, and keeping everything besides shrooms and zoas halfway up and above. Id personally upgrade them, though.
