Cycling redone tank

I just took down my 46 gallon bow front and moved everything to a 75 gallon. I kept the bulk of the water, the filters/skimmers, and live rock along with the cleanup crew and the lone remaining fish. I filled the rest with RO water and used all new live sand. So my question is... Do I need to let the tank go through a full cycle? I was planning on waiting at least a couple of weeks to see how the parameters were doing, but would like to get a better idea of what might happen from you guys. Thanks in advance for any info.

You should wait and test your water, you could possibly get some spikes just from all the movement....
 
So, let me ask this, you filled the remainder with ro???? just ro??? Did you add salt??/

Darn it. I knew I forgot something.

 
Good question. But I just forgot to mention the salt. It's in there.

The lone tomato clown is in the new tank. He doesn't look particularly thrilled with life at the moment and hasn't eaten in the new tank yet, but seems OK overall. He was shy in the old tank and there is a lot more open space now, so that kinda makes sense.

I would love some more opinions. How long should I give it before being confident there won't be a ammonia spike? Still at zero 5 days in. Was hoping to look to start adding next weekend. Thanks.
