I was given a 55 gallon tank back at the end of demember and its all cycled as of about last week and I currently have 4 angel fish in it and was planning on getting more fish next week. Well I was offered a 125 gallon this week and I accepted, It comes with everything I would need to start it up (filter,heater,etc.) so i'll be starting all over again with the cycling, is there anyway i could somehow transfer any of my beneficial bacteria/ the good stuff that makes a tank cycled so I don't have to wait another month and a half+ to get this new tank cycled?
 
Using some the water will help. Substrate holds bacteria but most will be built up in your filter. Depending on the filter media you can use it. You can also look into the different type of products out there that help kick start the cycle.
