Cycling..?

[RoryJ]

Ok, its a 110 FOWLR, as of now, I put in 40lbs of sand..20lbs live 20lbs dry..and so far 50lbs of dry rock. Can i start to cycle tank now or should I wait til I add more rock?..I know the rule of thumb is 1 to 2 lbs per gallon, so I will add more as I go or is that not a good idea and wait to cycle tank til after I add more rock?...I was planning on using some bottled bacteria and 1 piece of live rock to cycle..and suggestions or comments?..

I would feed the tank and get the cycle started. This will give you a head start!

Start the cycle! Add more live rock later Not dry ! I start off with seachem Stability and find it works great to get the biological life started other key thing is PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE !! Let it do its thing check nitrite & ammonia more often than anything wait a bit to do a water change and you should be golden!
