I added the rest of the rocks back into the 29 from the 10 after about 2 weeks.
So adding established rocks along with using GOOD live sand is probably why it cycled as fast as it did. (the sand I used claimed that it helped cycle the tank faster.)
yeah, im not surprised it cycled fast. when you add established cured lr like yours you see little to no cycling at all. but good luck with tank, i hope all goes well
