    Congrats on the new tank. I would get dry rock if it already has live rock. Also just get dry sand.

    Just keep track of your nitrates/nitrites/ammonia. You may have a mini cycle as it has been taken down and then reassembled. But if you use base rock as mentioned you won't see much change. I would give it bout two weeks to be sure; I would add a cleaner or pistol shrimp then fish.

    when ammonia is 0,nitrites is 0 and your nitrates are under 20ppm(preferably 10ppm)
