You will still see a cycle just not as big as usual I would still force cycle it to be safe. I've moved a couple tanks with them only tore down for a couple hours and still see a mini cycle even with keeping the rock wet.
I wouldn't worry to much about the Peppermint shrimp I don't see the one in the 175g for a month or more unless I get really lucky with the flash light. When I do see him I only see his antennas. Things take time with this hobby and don't always go the way you want them too. You can't really...

It's not really a water change as all the nutrients and assorted other junk is left behind. So to me it's extra pain in the butt that's more or less unneeded. Mind you I only do pwc every couple of months with no I'll effects. Not one yet on the cube up since first week of August cycled and...
