I had to swap tanks last night. I tore down a75 with a 40 gallon sump and moved everything except the sand and water to the 8p gallon with 40 gallon sump. The new tank has all live rock and maybe 15 gallons of the old water . bare bottom. I did add some stability after the move . does anyone see any future problems by doing this?
 
I would monitor ammonia closely and have some Prime on hand to bind it just in case. Sometimes disturbing everything can cause a mini-cycle.
 
Agree with @Humblefish. It wouldn't hurt to add stability for a couple days in a row either. It will help fight a mini cycle.
