question

Ok so I have a 30 gallon tank and I am adding another 30 gallon refuge. Long story short in the process I have disturbed the sand bed and I added about 10-13 gallons from original tank to the new 30 gallon with disturbed sand. I checked my water it had
amonia .25
nitrite 0
nitrate 0-5 (the zero and five look like the same color)
ph 8

how long will it take to cycle or should I not even worry about it and plumb it to my display?

I put some (5 lbs) rock and some cheato in it

I bet it will cycle fast...maybe a day or so. I would trickle it to the display for some heat and filtration.
