So nobody is willing to offer their experience.

Maybe someone will at least be willing to tell me if my plan has any merit. I was thinking of putting OOlite live sand and the new live rock into the tank. I will do a 50% water change on my 10g which will give me 4 gallons of water to add to the tank. I will also add 1 rock from my 10g. I will fill the tank the rest of the way with new water and let it run for 1 - 2 weeks. Then move the rest of the rock over and introduce the fish to the new aquarium the same way I do when I bring new fish home from the LFS.

Does that sound good or is there even any benefit from moving water and rock from the 10g over before the cycle?

Also should I move my SSB over as well. Its almost 1 year old.
