If you got the rock local I dont think it will cycle. Try feeding the empty tank with just rock and sand if it dont spike your ready.

put a couple dead raw shrimp in there.. that should start the cycle

If you started with all live rock you most likely wont have to cycle the tank. If you just go from what I said above and it dont spike then your fine.
