20 gal reef to 29gal

Im upgrading my tank from a 20gal to a 29gal. Not a big change but enough to make me worry some. Right now all i have in the tank as for corals go is some button polyps and mushrooms. I plan on putting all of the live sand, live rock and water from my twenty in there. What can I expect when I do all this? Will the tank start to cycle again? Does this sound like a good plan?

You should be fine. Mushrooms and polyps are hardy corals. They can stand the transfer. But, the year old sand will cause a cycle.
