55 Gallon Fowlr cycle question!!
Hey everyone!! so yesterday morning, i went to my LFS and bought 15 lbs of dry live rock, and 50 lbs of cured live rock!!! finally set it all up and think i settled on the aquascape.
my question is, while this cycles do i have to do water changes or anything? and with having this much live rock in the tank how long should it take for it to balance? and be ready for my first 2 fishies! thanks for the help! |

No need for water changes unless the ammonia spikes really high. As for how long it will take to cycle, it depends on the cured live rock. If you are 100% sure that it is fully cured, you probably wont have a cycle, if this is the case, still give it two weeks to make sure nothing changes before you add fish. If it isnt 100% the cycle can take between 3-5 weeks. Just monitor your water
