if you transfered the live rock and the live sand i would measure your levels, then corals the next day, then fish should be fine if your levels are good, because your rock and water is already cycled

If I where you I would not tranfer the ls you are asking for a biger cycle. Get dry sand, and put that in there with a cup of your old sand to sead the dry sand. Ether sell your old live sand on your local fourm, Or you could clean it for later use.

Should it not be fish first then corals?

i put some new rock in the bigger tank, cycled it for about a month, then added my live rock, fish, and corals basically all at one time. i didn't keep my sand bed.

I just transfered all my LR and LS from my 75 to my 125.LS was a SSB and thouroughly sifted by Diamond Goby .It was in a storage container for a couple of days with SW and i check my water params for ammonia ,trates and trites before i reused it .All went well with no spikes.As long as you keep it wet in SW you could add a little bit at a time to your tank if you fear spikes.I would stir it up and drain excess water before you put it in your tank. BTW i lost no livestock in the transfer other than a few SPS while in storage containers RTN'd on me
