would I be okay to transfer all my stuff from my fluval evo to my new waterbox 110.4 its been running since friday, I've added some marine pure bio balls to the waterbox that I had seeding for a month in the fluval, I've moved over my clownfish with the seeded media and they are all good, I'm thinking livestock like fish will be fine with it but I'm wondering about my corals, couple torches, hammer and zoa in a new system
 
When I moved from my 120g to my 150g, I did the same thing and transferred all of my biobricks over first for a few days along with some coral-free live rocks. After that I moved everything and everyone over at the same time (fish and corals and all) and added a bit of prime and I've not had any issues. I had a bit of a nitrate spike but I immediately ran a reactor with denitrifying medium and no issues.

Theoretically if you move everything over then it should be fine, as the filtration you have at this point can sustain your current stock, so moving to a bigger tank just means the exact same filtration, just with a larger water volume that does not actually change anything regarding waste production, etc.

There might be some differences when you move things over as water might flow through/over filtration media differently, etc., but I doubt it would impact everything too much.
