What will make my tank cycle faster

stability by seachem works ok I had to use this plus a ton of live rock from my other systems to cycle my 80gl when i moved last month still wish I would of had the full 45 days for a safe cycle though.
 
I put rock rubble in the filter of my 40 gallon tank and used it to seed my 20 gallon. I never had any ammonia reading, the uglies started 1 day after setup, first fish added 2 days later and I changed the water twice a week for a month. I added 2 more small fish once a month. Just make sure you understand that the bacteria will match the food source. If you add too much at once, even if you have bacteria, it won't be enough to keep up. This is why I added a fish so quickly to my 20, otherwise most of the nitrifying bacteria would have died off due to lack of food.
