Hi guys, so I am going to be upgrading my 65 gallon FOWLR to a 120 gallon tank. The new tank will be going in the same place as the current tank is sitting. I am having some trouble understanding the best way to transfer my few fish into the bigger tank. To my understanding if I use all my current live rock and bio-media with the addition of new dry live rock and new sand, I can immediate transfer my fish without any worry about a cycle occurring that could hurt my fish? If anyone an have any input that would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I will be using the Aquaforest BioSand which comes with nitrifying bacteria if that can affect this situation.

Thanks
