New tank with older tank water and filtration. Help

[Juniorg16]

So recently set up my new tank (25 gallon lagoon tank) and I used my old water from my 10 gallon biocube and filtration (sponge and carbon and little phosphate bag to catch phosphate) and used it for my new tank and added about 10 more gallons. I did use my live rock, bought some sand and couple more rock.

I don't have a place to really put my corals (they are in containers of water right now) and I'm worried they might give out. Do I have to wait for my tank to still cycle for weeks?

All the help would be appreciated guys! Thanks!

Oh and I wasn't to sure with this but, I did throw a couple of my zoas in there cause they are on a small colony of rock and really didn't have anywhere else to put them. Oops

You got a test kit, if not, that is where you need to start....

Then go take a sample to your LFS and check your parameters.
The numbers can't lie.

Just put heater and small powerheads in where ever you have corals in they will be fine ... For my move I left corals in old tank with heater and water most off it went into my new one let it clear up for about a day than transferre over everything

Will be going soon once they open up. Main concern is having my corals in containers for the day.

Will go get my water tested before. I have a heater going right now and a power head as well. Looking to place my corals in before the night hopefully.
