imo I would wait 4-6 weeks till cycled.
You need to see if the movement of the rocks caused a mini-cycle. (Assuming the LR was live to begin with). I would check your Ammonia and Nitrite for a few days to ensure that they remain at 0.
If > 0, then prime the tank with some off the shelf bio-bacteria (or use a shrimp). Wait for zero's.
If = 0, then you should be fine to slowly add some live stock. But stock slowly so you don't overwhelm the smaller tanks biolife/bacteria.
Good luck with your move.

Dr tims one and only is really good for creating a cycle in a short time.
I did put a couple of rocks in the sump from my 36 and my yellow tail dem that I dont like cause he killed my tan to hopefully speed things up. I was hoping to have them in the 90 by thanksgiving. My wife loves the fish but doesn't want to see 2 tanks when company comes over. So I'll have to try the bio in a bottle.
