I have an established 50g tank with several cichlids in it.
One of the cichlids is being picked on and i want to get him out of there but i have no other cycled tank to put him in.
Can I do a water change on the 50 gallon and put that water in a 30g tank that I have a replace the filter media in the 50 g tank and use it in the 30 g tank for a quick setup so i can move the GT out of the tank and into a safe place for him to heal?
 
Yes you can do that. But dont remove all your old media from the 55g and replace it with new, otherwise you may wipe out your bacteria.
