Another cycling question

[carrie1429]

In my 84 gallon tank so far I have at least 75 pounds of cured LR, 2in of LS, 2 damsels, some snails, and all water levels are fine, how long will this take to cycle?
Note: I am getting more LR.

With that much cured live rock and small fish load, you most likely will not see a cycle at all. All a cycle is is waste conversion. Any tank is constantly cycling just at different speeds. The more nitrifying bacteria that are present the faster the waste is converted. You have added plenty of bacteria with the live rock so your tank most likely will not see a typical beginners cycle because the rock and sand already have the needed bacteria present.
