That depends on a few things. what are you using for base rock? are you using rock from the ocean? or are you using something like concrete formed rocks? the are a few things you can do to speed up your cycling. One is to get a friend to give you some of his water from a water change, because it is loaded with micro life. you can also ask someone you know for some of their sand from their tank, since that is the most important thing you need to get going. other than that, you could use a product called cycle, but dont over use that stuff for a sw tank, it could cause a huge algea bloom.

Is there any point to putting some shrimp or frozen bloodworms or anything else in the tank to get a but of a cycle going? Would it help speed up the cycle when the LR is in there? Thanks guys!
