You dont cycle with fishes in your tank. cycle is to get through and over the ANN cycle ,

ya u dun cycle with fish or corals or anything.. ur fishes will die..

then its time to check if ur ANN cycle have finish anot.. if ok le then no problem at all.. test kits dun lie so can trust..

IMO...it depends on how u start ur tank's cyling process....some ppl start wif uncured rocks....some start wif cured LRs....

uncured LRs will have a slower process while using cured LRs will speed up the cycling process....with the help of a gd nitrifying bacteria, it would be even faster....
