Upgrading Question - Input Please!

I am in the process of bring up my new 125g system!
It is a 125g with a 75g sump/fuge. The tank is used and I got 200# of LR from the previous owner. I bought new Live Sand to go in it.
Here is my upgrade plan... Please provide input
Remove baffles from 75g to revert back to tank (I have to redo sizing) - DONE
Clean 75g and fill with SW & 200# LR - DONE (Dieoff did happen in the 4+ hours it was exposed to air and fresh water)
Clean 125g and fill with SW. Use temp 20g rubbermaid as Sump
Put new substrate in
Put 200# LR in
Start Cycle of new tank
Clean 75g (again)
Add new baffles to 75g
Add SW, Miracle mud, LR rubble to fuge
Insert where temp Sump was
Finish Cycle
Move rock & livestock from old tank
Decommission old tank (and sell off extra rock)
How does that sound? Am I missing anything? Am I making any mistakes?
Thanks in advance. John
