I waited 24 hours for the water to clear up then I moved all the live stock including coral and a few sps colonies into the new setup and never had a problem. During the first week or two I used stability from seachem http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/sc...r+-+500ml.html just to make sure I have enough bacteria to process all the waste and the cycle just continued on in the new tank without missing a beat.
The only difference is the extra 100 lbs of rock that you added, not too sure how its going to affect on the cycle.

Since our tanks are the same size I am curious how much live rock you have. I have about 170lbs total, I don't want to add any more to my display tank, if they say is true about 1 lbs per gal I willmaybe have to put some in my 72 gal sump, what da ya think
