Hi all,

My first post to this board. I'm a former nanoreef keeper who left because of finances many years ago. Since then I had a 60 litre planted tank but I had to get rid of that when I moved about 3 years ago.

I've since moved again to a place that's likely to be permanent for me and once I pay off my moving debt (hopefully within a year), I plan to get a Red Sea Reefer XXL 625.

Anyway, I have a question!

As I've been doing my research about what equipment I want and how I want to aquascape, I've come across several YouTube videos with people at reef shows.
They always seem to have beautiful tanks on display with fish in that look relatively happy. My question is, how do these guys manage to put up a temporary aquarium capable of supporting fish without going through the cycling process? I assume they're using some sort of pre-cycled filter media?

We have loads of threads about cycling methods and bottled bacteria, but I'm curious about how these guys pull it off for a temporary display.
 
They tear the tank down before the water becomes toxic. I’m sure they’re running live rock as well which probably helps.
