Average Timing for Cycling

[kraken]

Hi All,

I started cycling my new 5' tank 10 days ago, a market prawn was introduced on day 1.

seen very low levels of ammonia, but no NO2 as of now.

Was wondering how long before one can read No2?

*I having been dosing bacteria from day 1 (everyday thereafter) , running biopellets and skimmer after a couple of days.

How Many prawns have you dump into your 5' tank?
