Default please help!!!!

i have a big dilema with my 210gal reef tank. will someone please advise me, as i am getting so many conflicting pieces of "expert advice".
my tank has been up and running for about 3 months, with about 60lbs of live rock. i currently have another 90lbs of live rock, curing at my lfs, which i plan on adding to my system, at approximatly 10 or so lbs. per week.
i have a 40gallon refugium with an e.t.s.s. protien skimmer set up for approximatly 1month.
this week i added a phosband reactor 150, running through a turbo-twist 12x uv light.
currently in my tank i have, a fairey wrasse, clown tang, clown fish, 3 cardinals, bullet gobie,3 green chromises,2 cleaner wrasses,3 cleaner shrimp, 3 peppermint shrimp, assorted emerald and hermit crabs, and snails. a serpentine star, sand star, tiger conch.
i am being told that all these fish are destined to die, because my tank is not up and running long enough to sustain them. i recently lost a beautiful yellow tang.i set this tank up with the hope of it being a source of relaxation, and am under so much stress because i am afraid to lose these fish i currently have.
forgot to say i also have about 30 or so lbs. of live sand and about 20lbs. of regular sand.
i've been told that i should move all of my fish to my 29gal hospitol tank, and add my rock to the 210, and let it cycle for about 1-2mos. i realze a 29gal is small for these fish, but am being told it won't hurt them in the 1-2mos.
I would like to know:
1. If I add approximately 10lbs of uncured rock a week will it kill my fish?
2. Is my tank to new to support these fish?
3. Should I transfer the fish to my 29 gallon or can I leave them in my 210 while adding the rock?
