Also just be aware that with pebbles you are gonna end up with fish crap building up... Might not be bad but just something to watch out for.

ok so i may have started a small cycle I have nitrates at 10 and amonia how long is it likely to last and how can I keep the cichlids happy and not kill em
I should have used more of the old water the canister is from my old setup and was not cleaned hopefully this will help.

The fact that you have nitrates means your filter is working, it might have been set back by chlorine in new water possibly, who knows? If ammonia is super low leave it or do a small water change, either way add an ammonia neutralizing water conditioner and watch very closely.
It could also be crap building up under the pebbles creating a little spike. If thats the case you need to clean the hell out of the substrate under the pebbles.
Whats your filter?
