you will probaly get a small cycle. All I would say is that if you have to do it cuz of the move and you dont have time to cycle the new tank. Just dont use your old sand if you have sand. (use dead dry sand for the new tank if you want sand in it.) Also when you are moving the live rock from tank to tank keep it in water...

i will put the live rocks in water on the garage for 24 hours will it the 90 degrees temp kill it?

The heat won't kill it, but it won't be happy. If you can have some kind of circulation in the tank, even if it is just a big powerhead, and a fan blowing accross the top then it will stay cooler.
