I've had the exact happen...I just set up a 10'long 300g tank and put in a prawn to rot.....2 weeks in and my levels are all perfect. I have never had a tank cycle like this. Usually it's your 6 week, hurry up and wait! I'm not going to put a bunch of anything in there....as of yet until I get good readings for a bit. It just seems too good to be true, however all my rock was cycled and the tank is 10 feet away from the rock tank, so chance of die off...all the water was taken from existing tanks, and the sand was 6 bags of regular sand with 1 bag of live. I also added Cycle by Hagen....but am quite happy so far....
