Questions About Setup

RedSix, (or anyone else of course),

Few quick questions for you about using TBS:

At one point you said you had very little cycle, like almost no ammonia. Is that really true, or did the cycle just happen quickly? It has to happen some how.

Where did you get your sand to go with the live rock and at what point did you put it in relative to the LR. I like the coarse nature of the material, seems it would have a lot of places for critters to live and hide. Although I wonder if the coarser, more permeable nature of it would minimize it's ability to denitrify?

Did you find a source of information listing what species of fish and other life that live in the Florida reef biotype, where the LR comes from? I intend to attempt to mimic a reef zone in my tank, and think something local is best, like Florida, which is actually part of the Caribbean reef zone, I believe.
