Help, What would you do?

I was just wondering something...

If the displays have sat empty for two months, would adding the fish cause an ammonia spike? I am wondering if the bacteria in the tanks might have died off since there was no more bioload. I would hate for you to be condemned to doing those types of water changes with pails again.

The anemones, snails, shrimp, and hermits etc. got fed small amounts of food every so often and with all the LR and critters in there I doubt the will be any spikes.
