So I'm out of room in my 50 gallon mixed reef and my new 125 gallon is now set up and cycled
Is there anything I need to do before moving my coral into the 125?
Just don't want to make a mistake or miss something and kill my coral

Thanks
 
You may want to move any rock and corals from your smaller system over in increments to ensure there aren’t any issues with water parameters, lighting, flow, etc.
Thanks
Yeah I wasn't going to move everything at once. Gonna take it slow
 
One thing I did for my own piece of mind was to spend about 15-20 minutes exchanging tank water between my two tanks to assure that the tank water i was transferring the corals from was the same water they were going into. Take 5 gallons out of small tank, put it into the large. Immediately take 5 gallons out of large tank and put it into small tank. Continue doing this and test salinity and temperature after 10-15 minutes. Good luck.

Sounds like a good idea
