How long did it take you to cycle your tank with the bio wheel filter???

Thanx.. You really know alot about this. But I think if I'm gonna ever be able to do this I need to start with a fish only tank first. If I can ever get the fish to live or even get through a cycle. I'm going on a short vacation. Then when I get back I think I need to make a couple of trips to...

Ok.... I went up to the live rock place I had mentioned, and it all makes sense, but If this is the way to do it, then why do most of the other people have pumps and sumps and filters ect... I don't get it. Then if you did go that way with the ls & lr it would be a reef tank Right?

I don't know how to get rid of that info. Sorry i didn't know you could do that.

So what do I do now? Do I have to empty the tank and start over? Or will the tank keep cycling and wait to put fish in? I have a 25 galllon,CC, biowheel 330, the Ph is fine the Nitrate is 0 and Nitrite is also 0 but the ammonia is .4
