Hello im about to move my 30 gallon to a 72 gallon aquarium. I have been told by my LFS that I don't have to cycle the new tank aslong as I put new live sand in the tank, ALL of my cycled live rock from my old tank, fill it with 25-30 gallons of new premixed saltwater, and then put all of my cycled water from my old tank into the new tank. also use the old filters and whatnot.. their explanation was that I have in my old tank 30 gallons of cycled water and cycled rock supporting the system so if I put it all in the 72 gallon I still have enough cycled environment to support the fish..
I'm always wanting second opinions as this seemed a little strange I figured I should ask everyone what they thought..
