Thought, comment and suggestions always welcome, and sometimes
needed.

I was planning on adding substrate and rocks (this part will take weeks
till I get just the look I'm shooting for), then adding water from my
90 and 60, and installing the sump from another tank and adding the
fish before the bacteria on the bio-balls die. All in one day, the fish
are not big (yet). Should this be a problem?


Sounds great. An amount of bacteria is on the surfaces of the old
aquariums, but the filter's bacteria should equalize all that in a day or
two. You're actually probably going down in bioload, as your new tank is
sterile (nothing decaying in the substrate), so you might not even see
any cycling spikes, just cloudy water from excess bacteria floating in
your water column.
