Good LORD! I couldn't have waited 5 months that's for sure! I have a 120 bow front that I recently set up with some LR from my 40 gallon & new sand. I have still not had a "cycle" in my tank, in regards to ammonia, nitrates/trites spiking etc. I checked my water parameters everyday for 2 weeks, then every other day for the next 3 weeks. I have been doing this since 1999-2000 and I have NEVER set up a tank that didn't cycle (be it my tanks or buddy's tanks) and it has me baffled! So 2 weeks after the initial set up of my 120 I completed my transfer of coral, fish & remaining LR because my water parameters were perfect and I still haven't had any ammonia, nitrates/trites spike and haven't lost any fish or coral! It's crazy! Here is the before & after shot, and the after shot isn't very recent as I have about 30 coral in my tank now, and I will post some updated pics soon. P.S. - I am from KY as well, and I agree, Go Big Blue! C-A-T-S!
