it is a good start to take cycle water, but do not stop there.
some substarte, rocks filter media. You can never use too much bacteria,only too little. |

if you do not have an established tank, ask a friend, or club member
one of the great things about a club |

Cycled and properly maintained tank, yes absolutely.
If the tank has nitrate buildup, then no you dont want to transfer that water, it will only fued algae blooms. When I started tanks I would ask other club members to bring me a jar of sand from their tank or refiugium. Then you just pour it on top of your sand-bed and you're good to go in no time. Putting LR rubble in the water path of your sump also does miracles.
