My tank cycled in 10 days, thats not the issue here, you shouldn't put corals in such a new setup, water is just not stable for them that soon, it takes awhile for everything to settle in. Your post might give others the impression that what you did is ok cause it worked for you, but its to soon to say it has, wait afew months, and let us know how things are going then. Hopefully you will be lucky and your water stays stable, to risky imo.
