I didn't feel comfortable not causing it to cycle, so we did the raw shrimp to throw everything into a big cycle to help the bacteria restablish its self (for better or worse).
Regardles, things seem to have made the transition.
Good to go. I just didn't want you to crash, no flaming. As concerned reefers we need to look out ya know? I will be doing the same thing with my 125 from my 55, but will be adding new rock as well.
