Dirt tanks usually cycle faster because of the ammonia the dirt releases when first submerged. You can also take the dirty foam pad from the 10 gallon's filter and either place it in the 30's filter or squeeze it directly into the water. Doing either will transfer helpful bacteria to your new tank.
