    New year..new tank..new ( first time) scrubber

    I currently have a 37 gallon salt water tank running with a hob filter and a canister filter using live rock rubble and carbon. I want to move all this to my new 65 gallon with bean animal overflow. Scrubber is running off the main drain. The return pump is a mag 9.5 running at full power. Would it be safe to take all the live rock from the old tank and put it in the new tank and run both the hob and canister filter until the screen is established? I don't want to have any casualities but I'm unsure if I will experience any sort of cycle. I am not running a skimmer, my main goal is to run just the scrubber. Screen size is 8x8

    Yes.

    When you move LR though, try to not let it touch air (put it in a full bucket of water). Also, try to re-structure the stack of rock to be the same, so that flow and light patterns are the same; this will keep as many sponges alive as possible, and will minimize the cycle.
