Cured rock transfers among tanks are skip cycle setups without using any bottle bacteria

Given the addition of cycling bacteria anyway, any cycle umpire would have to agree it's cycled regardless of how long its been running. If the description is correct = skip cycle setup. Skipping the cycle is the primary benefit of cured live rock transfers
