I am upgrading my aqueon filter to an aqua clear and I was wondering if I have to do anything so that there is no cycle and the BB stays?
 
In saltwater very little of your BB is in your filter. It's mostly on your rock. You should be alright, but still watch the parameters.
 
Should I put the old cartridge in the new filter?
 
The old media most likely won't fit, and you should just pick up some CPE to run in the ac instead of the fluval media
 
What's Cpe? What media should I put in the fluval?
 
What size should I get? Should I also use the sponge and the noodle things too?
 
I believe it's 1/2 unit for up to 20g 1 unit up to 50g and so on. You can use the sponge if you want but it will have be cleaned at least once a week, and the bio pellets are a fw thing, your LR will provide the bio filtration
