Hi guys I’m upgrading from a 6 feet tank to a 9 feet tank. I’ll b using all of my old rocks but not the sand. And some filter media and old water too. Question is with 60-70 pct new water. Will this cause a big cycle?

Highly unlikely.
Agreed. Sand doesn't hold a significant percentage of nitrifying bacteria as compared to the rock. And water, while having some free floating bacteria is even less significant (WAY less).

you may already know but don’t count on the jawfish for living for more than a year if you keep your water temperatures in the typical high 70s range, these fish come from the depths of california in water that average 50-60 degrees and high temperatures see them rarely make it past a year, given he will look really really cool for that year.

With any change over you lose good bacteria
from your tanks surfaces piping glass
If i was you I would put in what you have at home keep checking your water and after a couple of weeks I would start introducing 1 or 2 fish from the lfs just to make sure the bio load is there to take the new fish. If you put them all in at once and you get a big ammonia spike your going to lose fish
