FOWLR with LR no cycle???
I just set up a 210 with about 100lbs of live rock/ dry sand. I also put in about a dozen damsels with normal feeding schedule. one died and I let it decompose in the tank. Over a week in and 0 cycle? The rock was completely cured already and only about a 15 minute commute to introduction in tank. I am hearing I might not see a cycle at all?
Water is clear..no sign of anything at all 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 trate. Did the live rock negate the cycle? Am I actually ready for a fish or two? |

It is possible you will not have a cycle, but I would give it at least another week or 10 days with testing to be sure you don't have an ammonia spike.

Give it more time. You should be seeing ammonia readings, right?

That's a lot of water, so there may be a delay but ammonia level should go up any day now.
