I'll finally be moving my tank contents (rock, fish, Coral, etc) from the temporary 75 into the new 140. I upgraded from a 120 after Hurricane Harvey and since we had to move things to redo the floors, I decided it was time for an upgrade. I'm scared to move everything again and want to make sure I do it right. I'll have to move everything pretty much in one day because most of the rock has Coral on it. I've got 3 bottles of Dr Tim's one and only and think I can get away with doing a "fishless" cycle, but with fish. But if anyone can tell me what to do, exactly, that'd be great. I'll be using new, "live" sand, and have some new dry rock that has been cycling in a separate tub. I'd like to be able to rockscape fairly quickly outside the new tank, and then place the rocks, sand, new water and as much old water as is feasible. Add the Dr Tim's, and then add corals and fish. What do you think?
 
Recent pics. Can't find a pic of the temporary tank for some strange reason...
