When I did my tank swap I only ran the new tank for a day before adding all the stuff from my old tank... I didn't even have a blip on the Ammonia or Nitrite tests, though I did have a small algae cycle that's common with new tanks.
The way I figured it, was that I was just changing the reef's container... AFAIK, the glass in the tank doesn't need to cycle, only the stuff you put in it... and if that's already cycled, you shouldn't have any problems.
HTH.
