Water is not going to cut down on the cycle time. The bacteria that convert ammonia to nitrite to nitrate do not reside in the water.
then he will still have to cycle the tank. like spanko said above

im not gona give rock but ill give him water i cant give him sand i have crushed coral and i hate it i want live sand but i cant change it... im buyin live sand for 90g ima give him some of that
I set up a 5.5 gallon tank with existing tank water, and my cycle is still only about half way through a week later. I think it helps some, but doesn't go as far as having established sand and rocks.

3 gallons is an extremely small amount of water.
If you want more fish, get a bigger tank.
Like a standard 10 Gallon, which can be had at most stores for $10.
Then piece together filtration, lighting, etc...
This would be a much better route.
Agreed. Im thinking about doing a 3g pico, but its simply for the fact that I want to see how many super mini corals i can get in there. Ive seen picos that look incredible and they only have like, a sexi shrimp and thats it. but if you want more than one small fish, the standard glass 10g is like, $12 from ANY local pet/fish store. then just grab a light and filter. I would argue that if you went that route and really shopped around, it could end up being CHEAPER than doing a 3g pico with upgraded lights.
