Just make sure to take a small amount of media as too much could make the established tank have a mini cycle.

Do you think it is a good idea to bring some of my bio filter over to my new tank to help cycle and has anybody ever done this?

Absolutely. If you have an established (cycled) tank, then it will have good bacteria living on all surfaces inside it. Transfer a little media, gravel, a decoration and even trim a plant or two. Any or all of these will speed the cycling process of your new tank.
