There is no reason it should have been. All the fish were was an ammonia source...the same as the krill. I know you may be thinking the fish contributed something to the equation, but they do not.
Every tank cycling is different. Most fish cycling tanks I used to promote (yes, I did...when I didn't know better) took 6 weeks or so to cycle.
Well, you have decent ammonia readings...you are expecting to see more but with LR you may not. That may be a significant difference. I see no reason that krill wouldn't work...but if you wish go get a "meatier" shrimp from the grocery store. But you still may not see a lot of ammonia. Your test kits may not yet register the nitrites or nitrates, but they may be there. What kind of test kit are you using? Red Sea (notorious for .25 false ammonia readings)?
What is your pH and alkalinity?
