Tank Moving Question

[yaksplat]

I'm in the process of moving everything from my 55 to a 120 thats in a different house 14 miles away. I currently have the new 120 up and running with the correct salinity and temperature. Yesterday I moved 50# of my live rock to the new tank in addition to the 60# of base rock that's already there.
The question is, how long do i wait to bring the fish and corals over? Will the new tank cycle since the rock wasn't out of the water more than 5 seconds?
Thanks
Jim

hmm i really dont know. i just moved my whole tank to a new apartment 7 miles from my old house.. i just broke it all down, shiped it on over to the new place.. set it back up and did a big waterchange as i set it back up. everything lived and seems to be doing better than ever

You shouldn't have a problem with the old rock..was the base rock cycled?

Does it matter? It's just the dry hawaiian rock.

I just recently move tanks also. Just put old water in and rocks and fish no time differental. Just like a 20% H2O change
