I just got a new 60 gallon tank with a sump and my plan is to cycle the new tank with some already established media and then add the rest of my bio media when i add the fish, do you think i can move all of my six fish over at once with my live rock. I have heard lots of bad stories of tank changes and i don’t want to screw it up but also dont want to have duplicate equipment. Do you think it is possible, i have a pair of clowns, a midas blenny, royal gramma and a pair of bangais as well as a hermit, urchin and two cleaner shrimp. Any opinion would be great. Find below pictures of the tanks. By the way i have pit in loads of bio media over the last few months in preparation for this

You don’t even have to cycle it imo. You should just be good to transfer everything over in one day with no issues.

Cool, that definitely removes some of my doubts for the whole transfer
 
We had a little fluval flex 32g, it had 5 fish in it, I put the rocks from that tank in the sump and the new aqua scape in our new bigger tank, swapped the fish the same day and it was fine, I just didn't add any other livestock for about 6 weeks and then slowly, we didn't have corals for what it's worth
