I upgraded my system on Sunday. I tore down the old setup, moved it out of the way, and setup a new system. So far things a looking 10 times better. All fish and corals have adapted well so far. Never even lost a snail! The new lights sure do make the colors pop. I got home tonight a noticed some of my snails were mating. I could not believe it. This tank was just moved 24 hours ago!!! I tested my water tonight and it also looks great. I'm hoping to avoid a cycle.

I have some equipment off line that include a ozonizer and a dual bulk reef supply reactor that used used once on my old setup to run GFO and Carbon. Should I hook one of these up, or give it more time??

If it were me and they wee working well on the other system I'd hook them back up. You essentially just did a huge water change. Which is probably why all is looking well. Th snail spawning was also most likely induced by the change in water parameters. (not necessarily a bad thing :) )

Looks like you're in good shape! I don't think running that equipment could cause any harm as long as you think it was working well on the old system. You may as well use it!

The GFO/Carbon specifically would be great to run, and can only help you if used correctly.

The ozonizer I have no experience with, so don't know the risks involved.
