Default 1 day cycle?

anyone ever heard of using water from an established tank (100%) along with real live sand to cycle a tank in a day?

It is good to use stuff from a cycled Tank, But that does not create a cycled tank your BIO Filter still needs to get established according to the load on the tank. What you are creating when you add anything from an established tank is a well seeded tank!
