it highly likely cycle will you run a sump? you can throw in some macro algae to speed up the process. live sand from a bag is highly unlikely to have anything alive.

The more of each of the four live components a tank starts with, the less a "cycle" will even show.
Do you know which live component is the easiest to add more of to practically eliminate the "cycle"?
Hint: SGH360 gave the answer.
If this does not sound familiar to you, read the thread linked in my signature line.
