Run both filters together in the new tank, for at least 1 month... do a Seachem Stability mega dump into the new tank (especially directly into the new filter/filter media)...by that I mean 3 full capfuls EVERY DAY for the whole week. Remember to shake the bottle like you mean it EACH AND EVERY TIME before you use it... If that don't help cycle the new tank with haste, then I donno what else will... Get API Freshwater Master Test kit too, to check on ammonia, nitrite, and nitrAte.
Also I'd mod the newer HoB filter in the following way:

BTW the boi will need plenty of silk plants or live plants in his much larger tank... here's some good silk plants I highly recommend:
Wow, thanks for taking the time to provide an in depth answer!
Im currently looking at this Fluval Spec V; though I cant tell if its version 1 or 2 (im thinking its the newer model, since Amazon lets you know if there is a newer version available).
In regards to plants, I have a leaf hammock and a plastic log, and I will be adding more (silk), but wont be ordering from amazon; im also looking to add driftwood and some live plants.
As far as live plants go, I think I understood that its better to cycle without them, as they could alter the process as they feed on ¿nitrate?. So I would add them later on. What do you think?
Id rather go with Seachem Stability, just because of the ease of measurring.
Ive since added Fluval Spec Carbon Filter replacement and Fluval Spec Bio Max.
Read on several websites that the current could be too strong for a betta, and the sponge cover seemed like an easy fix.
For substrate, I will most likely get gravel.; would love to have sand (too hard to care for as a begginer?) or ADA Africana (weight/cost).
Will check at my LFS for quality substrate, but have low expectations.
As for stock, I would like to add shrimp (ghost and/or RCS) but once my tank is established and settled. In reality, I would love to have Khukli Loaches (3) but general consensus is that a 5g is way too small.
Ill be looking into other bottom feeders (fish), but it doesnt seem I will be able to add them to a 5g.
Hows your setup, what do you have?

Petsmart carries the biomax 20 (Aquaclear brand as well as Fluval) which is small enough that I've managed to shove it into my 5.5gal HOB filter along with the filter floss and a sponge with relative ease.
