Well...
Are you monitoring ammonia,nitrite and nitrate levels like you should?
IF so post the results of the most recent few tests..

Did you start the tank with dry rock/dry sand or live rock/live sand or what?

Its not a smart idea to put anything living into a tank thats cycling if you are reading any ammonia.. Its toxic....

The only valid way to "speed up" cycling is to introduce live rock (that is locally sourced, fully cured/cycled and full of beneficial bacteria..

Nothing good happens fast in this hobby and you aren't off to a good start..
Might want to do a little more learning/reading to study up on the basics of how to properly maintain a tank,etc...
