I see where the mix up was at. You said the tank has only been up a week, but that was just the date that i started this thread because that was the date that i jeoined this forum. The rock was in a rubber main container from December 20th til about feb 15th, and then went into another one with RO saltwater and a powerhead and did water changes every week for three weeks until march 6th. That was when the sand came in so that was the day the water went in the tank(new water) with the rock and the sand. From there i have been testing the water every 2 days since. So the rock has been cycling for about a month and a half, and in the tank for three weeks as of tomorrow. I would not have even contemplated a move like this at a week old, that would have just been mean. Also, if anything does go bad i will still have the 10 gallon up because my fire shrimp needs somewhere to chill, but if i was going to start adding I was going to go slow. There are even time stamps on some of the pictures from march 7th.
