I think if anything new is added to the system you will see a slight cycle. I just moved everything of mine into a new tank over about five days and didn't notice much change in the fish or corals. I am getting a bit of an algea bloom so must be some cycle happening. Maybe some day I'll test the water and find out.

as long as everything is cured and healthey I think the backteria it brings over will do fine. you could start by putting a chunk of rock from your tank into it for a few days to get a head start though.
