I started my 55 gal FOWLR tank last week with 65 lbs of cured live rock from the LFS. (Really nice large pieces I might add!). 4 days ago I added 1 large raw shrimp too begin the cycling process. I tested for ammonia today and it is still registering 0 ppm. How long should it take for ammonia levels to start registering? Is it possible that since the LR was already cured that it is able to handle the biolode of the shrimp already? Nitrites are also showing 0 ppm.
