Default new refugium question, please help!

How long would a tank take to cycle if every thing you put in it is old? I transfered about 30 gallons of aged seawater from my 135 gallon tank, thats been up and running for 5 months. I cut a piece of sponge from my 135s sump and put it in my whisper 60, the filter for the 55 gallon, which is going to become a refugium. alos should I fill the 55 gallon to the top? or have a shallower refugium? like only 30-40 gallons?
How long will It take to cycle is the biggest question, I have a gobie and pistol shrimp I'm supposed to pick up tommorow, and my 135s only got a 1/2" sugar sand bed, which will be useless for the gobie/shrimp
The 55s got a deep 6-7 inch bed of crushed coral
thanks alot
tristan
