Hi everyone!

I recently got a secondhand tank basically given away to me by someone,the only problem is that the setup he has seems a bit excessive for my axolotl! It's 50 gallons with undergravel filtration system that connects to an aquaclear 200 (50 gallons) and 500 (150 gallons!), also 2 powerheads. I have 2 sponge filters in his current tank.

My questions are would the just the 200 and the 2 sponge filters suffice? Also, if I were to put one sponge filter from his old tank, how long would cycling take? The main issue is that its only a 10 gallon sponge filter... The other is only for 5 gallons!

Sorry for all the questions! This is my biggest tank so far so in pretty overwhelmed here!
