Bro, agree with ya. Reefing comes with patience.
The very first lfs that i started reefing from had this 5 feet Aquamedic tank.
Here's what the owner did:
1) Added in live rocks and start cycling for three months.
2) Subsequently, added a few corals.
3) No fishes added till after the sixth month
Basically, no matter how high-end our equipments are, complete cycling is unable to take place in 3-4 days.
However, lao jiao reefer might want to prove us wrong.
