Consolidating my 2 tanks into one. New tank is a 125 dual overflow 72"x18x22. Using a lifereef sump and 3600 gph dolphin return pump. Using all my own cured live rock, but using new water and live sand. Plan on putting in Fritz bacteria. How long b4 I can reasonably add fish and coral? Was gonna stagger fish first then coral. Have a bunch of coral and don't want to kill it because I was stupid! I've been doing this for ten years, but have always used my original setup, so I'm a little timid.
Thanks!!

Congrats on the upgrade! I would get everything together and wait a few days while testing to see if you get any type of cycle. Also make sure that the new water and the old tank water has close parameters for the transition of corals. Best of luck!
