![]() The steps are fine, just remember with the new rock/sand you will have a small cycle, so be prepared to deal with that, ie: sensitive fish/corals etc.

![]() You can speed up the cycle stage by putting water from your current tank into the new tank every time you do a water change. Helps build up bacteria. But right before you add fish and coral make sure all your nitrates and ammonia is zero by adding new water.
I put 25% new water in my 300 gallon and added water from the old tank every week plus 10% new water every week.
