90 gallon confusion

Hi, I just bought a used 90 gallon system. I have the sand in some buckets with some orig tank water ( no aeration or thermometer). I have the live rock in a huge rubbermaid container with 3 powerheads but no thermometer ( temp is 60 degrees). They have been in their containers about a month. I was going on vacation and didnt want to set it up before i left. Also in the sump there are bio balls, also empty for a month. Is the LS and LR still ok to use? I would imagine that all the living creatures that was on them would long be dead but can I still cycle my tank with them or should I add some more LS or LR?
Thanks.
