After 3yrs cooking, I just put it the new set-up, with all new water and the left overs in the sump and everything has been good. Keep my Alk and Ca at slightly elevated levels in the new tank and the coraline came back with avengence almost immediately with just T5 actinics for 2 months. Finally got the halides going and added some SPS frags this month (thanks Aquattro) and so far so good.
If money was no object I'd buy a box of new live rock (cure it) and add it to the sump to re-populate the old rock. But the money tree isn't bearing fruit yet....

Did you add fish right away? How long did you wait before adding anything to your fresh set up with cooked rock? This is good info. Appreciate it.
