This is on the other side of the tank.
First pic was Dec 2011 when it was about 3-4"dia.
Second pic was just last week Jan 2013. The yellow tang in the shot is 4" so that will tell you how big it actually is right now.

Thats 110 total gal to 200 total gal. You still have to minus water for the rocks. If the new tank is set up and you just going to transfer water and rocks then you good. If you going to use all the sand then you will get a serious nitrate spike by just stiring it up. Are you going to use the sand or new sand. When i did my tank, i had purchased all my live rock (275-300lbs)nearly a year before and kept it cycling with fish outside. I set up my tank, filled it with water and then put 3" of new clean sand. Took about 2 days to clear up. I stacked my live rock and filled it with the remaining water and ran my skimmer. I dumped nearly 2 bottles of bacteria in the tank - which was about 15 times the required dosage. 2 days later i had 5 chromis and 2 clowns in there. I actually never got an amonia spike. About 1 mth later i was slowly adding corals, shrimp and more fish. 2mths later i had to take out nearly 80% of my rocks because a 2" mantis shrimp was killing out all my fish, shrimp and snails one by one..........talk about the DEVIL?
I set back up the rocks and started over.
Now i not saying what worked for me will work for you but i maybe was lucky.

i dont think i will be using back my sand ,it kinda over polluted , i mite go without a sand bad for a while an probably after a few months add 1 , rite now i probably have about 50-80lbs of live rock , not to sure if i should add new rock , but was thinking about adding some of d dry rock that raj have ,and some dead branching coral,

dont think you should cycle the tank and then add sand mths later. You'll go tru another mini cycle which might have another diatom bloom. Its up to you though
That rock you you have will not be sufficient in that big tank.
SPS or LPS you going
