sorry, yes add your rock let it cycle then add substrate then add substrate from your exsisting tank..by adding some of your water change water from your 20 will help speed the cycle up

I Dont know About the substrate from the old tank what i have heard from my LFS guy is that you never take a sand bed with you or change it from tank to tank because of basically nukeing you whole tank from the bad stuff deep in the sand....my two cents, but not for sure sooo
