I am going from a 45 gal to a 120. I am also doing this while I move so the 120 is set up in the destination city 2hours away. I am worried about cycling the 120. Will I be safe if I move as much water from the 45 and all the rock, but not the substrate because I am changing from argonite to southdown sand. I tried to take a big scoop of the argonite and place it under the sand in the back of the 120 in hopes that when I move the rest of the critters in 10 days some of the bacteria will have spread to the sand. I also siphoned the detritus from the substrate and put about 10 gal of that water into the 120 to feed the bacteria. Any help or ideas about moving into a much bigger tank would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
