So, I was thinking of upgrading to a larger tank, and what I want to know is if I use the same rock and sand and water that is in my tank if it would cycle. I'd obviously have to add more sand because this one would be six inches wider across, and I only have a little over an inch to begin with, would you use live sand? I don't know if I'd add more rock right away, as it is hard to come by cheaply around here in Killeen (8.99 per pound). anyhow, I'd be upgrading from a 29 to a 45. The tank that I have now has been up and running for 19 months, and is coral and fish tank (no nem's).
