Best way to cycle new tank?

I already have many tanks, already cycled. I have a brand new tank, aqua one 620T. I have added some gravel from a cycled tank.

I plan to add one smallish platy when the tank has heated,

Any advise welcome please. I don't want to lose valuable fish.

After the algea bloom, is it cycled?

    I dont think alge means much as it will grow qs long as the water is dechlorinated. So i would say use some water also from the other tank as it will start the biological cycle. Then just wait. They say 2 weeks so thats what i would do. I tried using the water and after a few days i got my fish and they did fine
