You will be going through a full cycle I'm afraid. You can help the cycling process by using some Zeobak, Prodibio or Brightwells MB7. Test ammonia and NO3 every couple of days until the NO3 drops below 10 ppm for fish, and 5 ppm for coral (I would go lower personally). This can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks. Good luck.

Would it be ok to use tap water instead of riding water when filling the tank, it's just that it takes a long time to get all that rodi water done

I would start filling buckets or a container win rodi water as it will save you headaches in the future.
