Well, you're right. It's probably better to just put a well cycled bit of
filter material into a new tank. I use a lot of aqua clear filters and they
come with both ceramic media and filter sponges, so it's easy to remove one
or the other and put them into a new tank for an instant cycle. You can also
slip a sponge filter over the intake tube of one of your filters for a few
weeks and allow it to populate with bacteria, then put that in a new tank.

Food for thought.
