The water wont help very much, but for sure put the old filters with the filter pads and rock, as you can put the already established bacteria into the new tank. It should help alot, and shouldnt mess with the cycle too much. Better then starting over!
Sounds like you got a good deal. Where did you find that? LOL.... im always a sucker for cheap tanks... LOL... I would like have storage out back filled with them if I could, just in case.. LOL... but ryan might kill me for that one.
