Live rock

[Pricey95]

So I've been finally looking at having a custom peice made but was wondering about cycling it. Any ways around it without starting dry with all my fish and coral in the tank? Can I leave it in a bucket, heard bleach or something along those lines can be done?

Anyone shed some light on this for me. Thanks.

You can cycle the rocks in a seperate tank or bucket. I've done it, many have done it. Add your rocks, some bottled bacteria or a pinch of flake food, a heater and a powerhead, then just wait for the cycle
