Ok, this may seem confusing, but here it goes. I own two tanks (both 10 gallons) and I want to move Poe from tank 1 to tank 2. However, tank 2 isn't cycled yet,but tank 1 is. So, the question is, if I put the filter from tank 1 (cycled) to tank 2 (uncycled) will it be in instant cycle? I've already put some gravel from tank 1 in there, and I've been feeding it. Will this work? Thanks,

Pretty much, yeah.
This is how I cycle all of my new tanks.

Sounds like a good plan. Shove some extra sponges in the filter if you can too.
