Default New tank questions

Hi everyone,

Well my current tank is a year old now and looking pretty good, so in a few months I will be getting a new one, its about an 80 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump.

I am just finding out what I can do to help the new tank with its initial cycle. To start with I will be moving some of my live rock into the new tank as well as a few months worth of water changes from the existing tank. The sand bed will be new and I am not sure whether to get some live sand or just some ordinary sand, advice on this would be great...looking for a fairly fine substrate.

Eventually the remaining rock from the current tank will also go into the new one, most of the rock for the new tank will not be live rock due to the expense. However, I done the same thing with my current system and now all of the rock is 'live'.

Any advice on what I am trying to do will be most helpful.

Cheers
