I just bought a new 30x30x24 tank. I curently have a 34 gallon salano. What problems would I have transfering the livestock to the bigger tank. Will it cycle again?

Possibly, especialy if you transfer an established sand bed. To avoid that, use new, rinsed aragonite sand and seed it with a couple of scoops of your current sand bed. When moving the rocks, blast them with a powerhead to dislodge any trapped detritus, then rinse them in a bucket of tank water. Have freshly mixed salt water on hand, along with your test kits. Check params and do water changes if needed.

yeah, I'm nervous about doing it that way, I may just get the new tank established and slowly move corals over.
The rocks will be fine, but when I moved tanks I gave the new tank a few days of monitoring after I did what I mentioned above. Keep fish, corals and inverts in holding just to be safe. I'm sure others have transferred right over but I don't like to take the risk. JMO.
