I am getting ready to set up my 4x2x2. I have one fully cycled ehiem 2217 and a lge internal sponge. I am adding another 2217 but that isn't cycled. Will I need to cycle it before adding my fishies or will the other cycled one be able to handle the load in the new tank on it's own for a while . It will have the same amount of fish?

The cycled filter will get the other one going, theres no need to cycle the second filter.
