Seeing as everything will be somewhat stressed from the move, if it was my tank, I would use all the water you have now and once everything settles in, then do a water change.

Scrub the rock in the old water to eliminate die off. I would use new water and acclimate the fish as if it was coming from the store... you can do a slow drip the entire time you make the switch and not worry about a big water change later.
