I would say as long as you didnt introduce any new fish into the new tank you would have a short mini cycle if anything.

All you can do is keep testing like your doing to make sure there isnt any spikes in nritrite or Ammonia and do water changes as needed to keep them in check. Also you can add aquarium salt at low doses to help the fish cope with any nitrite that may be present. I went from a 55 to a 75 the same way and didnt have any issues with the fish at all, just some clouding for a few days like your experiencing. If you think that the water is green from algae you could always cut your photoperiod down to help reduce that.

I hope this helps you out some and remember the main thing is to keep on top of water changes if you find any accumulation of trites or ammonia.

I feel as though you should have waited atleast a couple of days before putting your fish in there. While you had enough bacteria built up for your 55 gallon you dont have enough bacteria for over 3 times that amount. That cloudyness is a bacteria bloom. I think the only thing you can do now is wait and see. Maybe add a bottle of that I start cycle stuff(it comes with bacteria). Let's us know how it goes.

Think of it this way. Your bacteria build up to handle a certain amount of bio load from your fish etc... Its like you have a stove big enough to cook just enough food for your family in your current house, then your family moves to a house 3x the size with the same stove. As long as you dont have to feed any more people the stove will still make the same amount of food in the bigger house.

House is the tank, stove is the beneficial bacteria, and your family is your fish.

Although you did lose some of your bacteria that was in the substrate and what not there is still quite a bit there and should reproduce the extra needed ones pretty fast. The volume of the tank shouldnt affect your bacteria. If you would have moved the old substrate along with it you would have nothing to worry about. But with the top soil in there your likely gonna experience some spikes do to the organics in the soil coming out and the only way to keep up and keep the fish safe is by water changes till it balances out.
