If your tank was rusty, you would have to remove all the rust by using a wire brush first before painting over the metal again. Other wise if you paint over the rusty parts, it's not going to do much good.

There is always a choice in this hobby. It's not that you were forced into this hobby but you WANT to have this hobby. Important thing is safety, for you and your loved ones.

U mean u started intro LS into tank when water cycled only 2 weeks?

By right that shouldn't be the case. I remember I cycle my water longer than a month.

No, I mean is my tank cycle ? As ammonia and nitrate now zero, as it is only the 2nd week now, any time difference for 2 ft tank? Does it mean smaller tank take shorter time to cycle?
