I have a 65 Gallon reef tank with a secham 110 tidal hob filter and 65 lbs live rock 60 lbs live sand and a reef octopus hob skimmer. I am going to transfer from the 65 to a 90 I bought Marineland 90 reef ready tank eshopps rs 100 4 th Gen sump reef octopus space saver skimmer. And a sicce return pump. I will use rock from 65 and some new rock got new sand. How do I transfer fish and corals safely and do I need to wait for new tank to cycle or can I move everything all at the same time what is the process

You can insta-cycle the new setup with something like Bio-Spira plus your existing rock, corals, inverts and fish. There are some threads on R2R that go into more detail on this.
