Hi guys, just looking to get some input on this. I currently have a 14 gal biocube that has been up and running for about 14 months. I just bought a 29 gal biocube and I want to move the stuff from my 14 to my 29. What is the best way to do this? If i use the live rock and the water from my 14 gal do have to cycle the new tank again??I have 2 clowns, some soft coral and a couple soft starfish and a peppermint shrimp. Thanks in advance for the help. Also I bought new live sand so I dont have to mess with the old stuff
 
Well you will want to add more LR I'm sure or use dry rock, so there might be a small cycle. You'll still see diatoms from the new sand. I would still let it sit a week or so
