Just be patient and let the bacteria grow naturally. I would remove the cup of substrate. You want the bacteria to colonize the PVC, etc. in the QT. Also, the sand may have microfauna that will later be killed by any treatment and reduce the quality of the water. The nitrItes will drop eventually, I promise!
