If that 60lbs of rock was cured good,it is possible he completely skipped a cycle.Or maybe even had an extremely quick cycle.I've seen it happen both ways at the LFS.
If after a week with no ammonia or nitrites and good live rock,I'd say the cycles done.
However I would still give it at least another week just to make sure.

Tank is nearing 2 weeks, water still looks good, still zero for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, pH is at 8.3.....only think I notice is that some rocks are starting to turn a little green...which is a good sign i guess...my AquaC remora HOB skimmer pulls about 2 gals. of water everyday...i hope this is due to break in period. had the collection cup set to the highest..

2 gallons is insane. I think you need to bring that back a bit. The skimmer really shouldn't be pulling out anything unless you are feeding the tank.

Just went back and read that you have fish, but still it should only be like a cup every couple days.

Goose is right.The skimmer pulling that much water is pretty dang extreme,unless your doing wet skimmate water changes.

I love seeing tank updates; your tank looks really wonderful and it's nice to see what patience and research can yield in a year and a half.
