You got it setup right.
They are ready when your pH stays below 8.3 for 5 days after a water change. Then soak for a week in salt water, and the pH should stay below 8.3 for 5 days as well. If it rises, then do another SW change and watch the pH. Once it stays stable, you are good to go!
Perhaps a bit conservative/cautious on the timing, but I don't like taking risks with my tank!
