how long for my cycle?

[matt1245]

ok my tank is a 29 gallon biocube with 15 pounds of base rock and 2 pounds of live and so called live sand about how long do you think it will take for cycle to be complete

I think the short answer is that it will take until it's done to be done. How are you cycling? If it's truly live sand, I would not think a cycle would take very long at all. Have you already added livestock?

well there is a snail and a bristle worm but that is from the live rock nothing else though and it is live sand

It could take 3-6 weeks but the sure way to know is you`ll see your ammonia rise and then go down and then you`ll see nitrites go up and down. Once those are at 0 then do about a 33% PWC and then you`ll be OK. There`s no real time limit I can tell you.
