Will it cycle again?

i have been setting up a 120 tank w/ a 30 gal sump/fuge since sunday...i was able to refill the tank with approx. 90 gallons of the original water and am adding the rest with ro/di water. There are several zoos, mushrooms leathers, about 6 snails, 2 starfish, cucumber, and 4 fish and anemone i have in a seperate tub, 120 lbs LR and 90 lbs of aragonite oolite reef sand. my question is will i have a cycle with all the fresh salt water i have been adding,(approx 60 gallons?) Thanks for any advice

You should not have a cycle but you still need to test periodically over the next week or two to make sure. Try to keep some RO water ready in case you need to do an emergency water change.
