Upsizing a reef tank

[rrasco]

I'm sure the tank will cycle to some degree, at that size and if you bring enough bio with your LR, it should be minimal and shouldn't have any real problem. Every system has a stabilization period where the bio and waste have to reach an equilibrium. You will probably see a lot of the familiar cycle stages, like diatoms or dinos; especially if you get new sand.
