Putting stuff into a new system

[ladizzlee]

Hello everyone, so question.

I currently have a biocude 32g that's been established for 5+ years with a bunch of corals and 4 fish in it. Doing great.
I had ordered a red sea 350 g2 a month ago and its finally getting delivered tomorrow. I was talking to one of the guys at my LFS and he was telling me that I would transfer everything (rocks, fish, coral, etc) to the new tank right away since there's already established bacteria in all my stuff.

I basically want a second opinion, the new tank is about 200 percent larger in water volume so I don't want to risk any of my corals or fish lives with any type of spikes.

Usually you could just transfer everything over, but since the size difference is so big I would cycle it first using some bottled bacteria, pieces of rock, and used filter media, and then transfer everything over.
