Hello PVT. Sorry about your puffer passing on. It is good that they will be moving into a larger tank. I just wish that the tank had already completed it's initial cycle as I'm afraid that the friends that survived are stressed and perhaps are not at their best health. The hermit crab sounds neat also. I just hope you are not adding him to this tank that is going to be cycling as he would be a "Dead Crab Walking" if you get my meaning. Invertabrates can not tolerate any toxic levels of amonia,
nitrate and
nitrite as those will be associated with a cycle in your tank being started. They are very sensitive to these things. Hopefully you will have a quick initial cycle and not much die off moving the
live rock and sand. You will have to start over with the bateria built up in the sand tho as when it is exposed to the open air, those colonies will die. Please hold off on adding any more friends to your tank until your cycle completes as fish get stressed by newcomers until they get use to their presence. Look forward to seeing some new pics of the tank set up that you've been working on. Keep us posted. Stay out of the candy store until you get your check up at the dentist.
