Depending on the rock it could be a few days to maybe 3 weeks tops, at least thats what i think.
When I first cycled my tank last year I had alot of live rock adn dosed ammonia to over 8ppm!! (by accident of course) and within a week the ammonia was gone, had nitrites, lost nitrites then the nitrates built up. I may have been lucky but I would think you should have similar results if the rock came from an established tank like mine did.
How much base/live rock did you go with?
And I agree, some more pictures would be awesome, especially of the sump setup you have so far.
Here are some photos of the sump.
I like to put my ugly rock on the bottom and in the back. Before long it will all be purple and look the same. Between the live rock from your other tank and the new stuff I bet you have a real quick cycle. Make sure you test daily so you don't miss any spikes. I tested for over a week in my 90g and never saw any spike even after I added all the fish that I did.
Your sump is behind your tank? Didn't it fit underneath?
Whatever works,,good luckHaha, yes it is. My tank stand is pretty low, and we did some tests to see how easy it would be to remove things/ fix things etc., and it would have been very difficult. Therefore, I just put the sump behind the tank, .
ahh i see. lol Well now you have lots of storage area at least.
You have been making good progress lately . Is that a store bought sump or did you make that?
Whatever works,,good luck
