If your a fishless cycling, raise the temperature to around 84-85 degrees. The bacteria grows the fastest at this temperature.

You could add some filter media from an established tank. This should have a bunch of established bacteria. Of course, you risk introducing bad stuff from another tank if it is contaminated.

If you are doing a fishless cycle then turn up the heat and add gravel from an established tank or any decorations, rocks, driftwood.

I cycled my 58g in 12 days by using gravel from my other tanks.

Make sure you don't overdose with ammonia as then it will take longer.
