Cube Cycled?

Hello, I have a 12g Nano Cube that I’ve been running for about 10 weeks now. It’s completely stock with no modifications or additions. I have about 2″ of live sand over which I’ve placed about 10lbs of Fiji live rock. Parameters are as follows: Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 0, PH 8.2. Salinity 1.022. I perform a 1 gal water change twice a week using distilled water and Instant Ocean. Lights are on a timer set for 14 hrs a day. Temp runs about 81-82. Animals include: 1 small clown fish, 1 fire goby, 1 sand sifting goby (not sure of the name, sorry), 3 small blue leg hermits, 6 small algae eating snails (Trochus?), xenia coral, 4″ zoanthid colony, 4″ star polyp colony, 3″ mushroom colony. When I purchased the tank, my LFS told me that the tank would cycle in about three days.
