Hello guys and gals. I am restarting my 75 gallon tank. I learned the hard way about putting things in qt. I had to do a complete tear down. So I separated my fish and treated them and put my corals and snails in a separate tank and it's been about 85 days I know the minimum is 75 days but I wanted to be extra cautious. So my question is now that my 75 gallon tank is full and salt levels are right on if I add the rock that's been in the tank with corals can I add everything (excluding fish) back to the 75 gallon tank or do I need to wait for the full cycle. Just curious because the rock in the coral tank has handled the bio load for everything else in the other tank. Snails corals and all that.
Cycling questions.

Yes, you can move everything in with the rock. In fact, you could probably add the fish, too. Odds are that most of the bacteria you initially had in the rock are still there, just working a little slower.
Ok cool deal. Even though it's not the full amount of rock. I took most of the bigger stuff out to air dry there's probably a less then 5-6 pounds in the qt tank as it's only a 10 gallon. Sorry just don't want to kill everything lol.
