2nd tank cycled? An experts view on this please!

[Reef_at_Sea]

Hello!

Currently i have a 20 gallon tank running with 1 clownfish, 1 cleaning shrimp some clean up snails & 4 soft corals.

I started a new tank 6 days ago with 60% live ocean rock & live sand & on this day its managing to drop 2ppm ammonia to 0 in 24hours.
I’m measuring a little less than 2ppm nitrite & i can measure nitrates (not accurately because of the nitrite)

My tank had some diatomes but they are dissapearing now.

Am i able to move my clean up crew, soft corals & clownfish to my new tank all together allready or should i take it from a different approach?

I don’t wanna kill my only fish

Thanks!

If it's processing 2ppm ammonia to 0 in 24 hours, I'm going to say you're good to go moving your livestock over. Just check to make sure your salinity, pH, and temp match the old tank first.

Yeah that was my plan, i just wasn’t sure about the nitrites & nitrates. And the fact that i’m not getting alot of algea other than a green film on my glass & diatomes.

I think i’m gonna dose 2ppm one more time just to make sure that everything is OK, dosing ammonia too often isn’t harmfull right?

Nope, not harmful at all if you're keeping it to 2ppm. You don't need to worry about the nitrites or nitrates, neither will impact your fish. The important part is the quick processing of ammonia which you have confirmed.
Enjoy your new tank and all the added space! I miss my old 75g these days.
