Cycling question

[SFMMcoasters]

I'm setting up a 10 gallon. Will the tank need cycling if I take the water, live rock, and sand all out of my existing 100 gallon setup? To me it seems like it should be ready to go. Am I right?

yeah mostly your not going to see a cycle, but it depends how long the rock was out of water when it was being transfered. but if it goes straight from one to the other, you shouldnt see one.
