Moving

[dj5935]

I have a 50 gallon tank and I have to move 4 hours away. I just bought a 75 gallon tank and I want to transfer everything to it. So I have a couple of questions first will my tank cycle hen I move it should I go aheade and set up the 75 gallon know? And can i move my live sand to my new tank or just buy new live sand?

You can move everything. You'll be fine. If you keep a fair amount of the water, 30% and transfer everything I doubt it would cycle. Although the disruption of the sand bed may cause an amonia spike (someone advise). I would get the 75 set up now and let it cycle so that you can just move everything over. If you're real worried get new live sand or garf grunge is good and it'll cycle in several days.
