New 210 gallon

[TJ Reefer]

I upgraded my 215 to a 210 gallon last week. I used a bucket full of sand from the old tank and all water in the 125. And then of course, I had to make more water to fill the two ten. My question is about the ammonia cycle so far so good, I did add a bottle of microbactor but I was told not to add anything to the tank for quite some time. Just looking for opinions here on whether I can be adding new coral. Or I should wait I will keep testing every few days.

It will still take a while to cycle. Did you use the same rock? That would help, but give it time. You could use the tried and true raw cocktail shrimp method.

All the rock from old system plus new because I needed more.

Did you add your old fish?

Yes they had to be added day of as my old 125 was taken apart
