ordered a new 220g reef ready tank

[coryjones]

I ordered my 220 reef ready and 160# of agronite sand. It will be in in 2 weeks. So here is the deal i am selling my 2 125g tanks if anyone is interested. What is the best way to start this new tank? has anyone done this? I have fish and 3 long tentacle anemone and a feather duster and 100# of live rock. Should i use my water? It is tap water i just got my new ro/di system. Should i just use all new water and let it cycle? I plain to build a new sump as well. I have a 55 sump now should i use it to build a new one i need the refugium buil in to it now. Should i use one of the 125's only thing that scares me there is the weight. Everything must be in the stand now. I also thought about a happ middle a 75 should be room for refugium/sump and the ro/di unit and everything else. Anyone have any plans for something like this that works good?

I'd use the RODI water for sure. The water isn't going to make a difference in a cycle... You are cycling the rock / filtration not the water. I'd use a 75g I think.

The rock and everything is all setup in the 125 right now i just figure if i setup the new one switch everything and do water changes and everything like i should then i will to wait for it to cycle
