Take old sponge from 55gal nd let it drip into the new tank, i would do it everyday if anythin, remember not to squeeze it jus let it naturally drip into tank, also be taking water from 55gal as well to best comfort ur fish

The op can move media from the old to the new tank but unless there is an ammonia source (from fish or bottled ammonia) its not going to cycle. If left long enough the bacteria will simply die. Moving water will keep parameters the same but that's it. Old water will not help cycle a tank.
