How long typically for nitrites to get to zero after it had spiked?

He's right. The use of live sand, live bacteria, and live rock can cycle a tank quickly.

Are you still adding ammonia?
How did you cycle?
What were your ammonia/nitrite levels?
and more details if you want educated comments on your situation.
