NItrifying bacteria is not free swimming. It locates itself in places
where there is an exchange of oxygen and water. Your best bet would be
to exchange fillter elements if possible, plus some gravel. Just adding
water from one tank to the next will not do anything. If you want a
quick way to cycle, there is a produce called bio-spira (spelling) it is
expensive, must be refridgerated, but it can cycle a tank in 24 hours.
There is also a fishless method, using "pure" ammonia. Of course the old
standby of adding in disposable fish to get it going.
