do you guys recommend to cycle tank first before putting cichlids or they are hardy enough to add earlier?...i already have a few cycled sponge still running from my previous tank.

Ph wise not to worry much sg water is quite good, as long as you have media which increase ph or using coral sand as substance its fine as well.
I usually do once wc a week sometimes twice a week but not recommended.
Sponge filter for 4ft tank? Temporary measure with regular wc still ok but not permanent.
Both canister or ohf is fine but if your bio load is higher i recommend canister, ohf not very nice with those loads. Haha
Try to reuse your existing water rather all new tank water for your new tank, media if possible try to use used one as well. If possible of cos cycle will be good but if not choice then do what you think is best. For my case i use my old water mix with new so i usually do not cycle but there is risk for me to take.
I don't encourage u as i am risk taker. Not sure about you.
Anyway whats fronts you getting. Happy to see new fronts hobbyist around.
