Upgrading to a larger system, at what point in the cycle can I move over corals from my smaller system that is currently running to the new system that is starting to cycle? I know with fish I have to wait until certain levels are achieved with ammonia, nitrate, nitrites. What about for corals? Thanks!
 
Make sure that the new tank is fully cycled and your PMs are stable. Ammonia and Nitrite should be undetectable and nitrates below 5ppm. Make sure you ph is between 8.1-8.4, Calcium 400-420, Kh at 9. How long has your new setup been running?
 
Then I would wait till it's cycled completely. Are you dosing anything right now? CA or Alk?
