    I think that is the most rewarding part of the hobby when you put a tank set up the way you want and it is working right.

    Exactly! And I cheated, I did a 30 gallon water change in my 75gal and reused that water for the 29...then I'll do another 5-10 gal w/c in the 29 in a week or so...so I pretty much skipped the cycle process

    As long as the rock is cycled and there was no die off.

    I completely cleaned it out(scraped the glass and bottom) then added new sand and took a 7-8 lb rock out of my big DT (I replaced it of course) I'm still gonna give it a week or so but still cheated lol

    Sounds like taking advantage of the resources at hand to me.
