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.
============================
I always have an Aquaclear sponge on my in take tubes. Extra filtering,
small weak fish wont get caught in the inflow and they're ready made for a
new tank that's not cycled. :-)
