Y or N? NewTank+Cured Rock=fish happy and no cycle?
If we used cured live rock in a new tank for the first time does that mean there will be no cycling necessary? Im talking about cured rock that has been sitting in another aquarium of mine for months. Coraline, sponge growth, everything. Will the rock be able to handle minor bio loads?

Gotta give it 2 weeks, then test ammonia and nitrite. If they come up negative , you're good to start adding fish slowly.

Nope nothing right now. Just a bunch of the cured rock. I just wanted to get an idea of how fast I could introduce fish. I did testt for ammonia using salifert and came up with a cloudy white color which is almost about zero. I don't have nitrite test yet!
