Upgrading to a much larger tank. Have questions.

[Radiolotek]

Currently I have a 26 gallon Biocube I am basically using as a life support tank while I set up my large tank. I currently has 2 clowns, yellow goby, pistol shrimp and a few random corals. I have sand, rock and bio media in the cube right now as well.
The new tank is a Waterbox infinia 230.6 It's about 220 gallons with sump. I am doing a dry rock scape and dry sand in the new tank. I was planning on getting a bag of wet "live" sand to seed the dry sand when I fill the tank if that actually helps at all.
What kind of cycle do I need to do before transferring over? Should I do a full cycle before transferring anything and if so would taking some of the bio balls and rock from the cube and placing it in the new tank help the cycle of will it just kill it?
I've never made such a large upgrade before.
Thanks

Take your time! I'd plan on doing a longer style break in period. And then move livestock over 1 or 2 at a time and continue to watch all the parameters. I'd do fish first and then corals.

Good luck.

Make sure to take it slow and don't move everything over all at once, it can mess with parameters and stress your livestock out if you do it too quickly
