could you skip a cycle with a 8 gallon biocube by using cured live rock, arag alive sand, and established tank water? one of my friends is curious if this is possible.
You can completely skip a cycle if you use all cured stuff and old water. Yote says that in his LFS they can set up a fully stocked tank in one day by using all cured rock and sand and old water.
I agree with biff. I think you can easily skip a cycle with cured rock and already cycled water. Its no diffrent than just transferring a tank...same idea.
I set up my 90 gallon in one day using 40 gallons of old tank water from my 125 and 40 gallons of new salt water. I used cured rock from my 125 as well as live sand from the LFS. I transferred all my fish and corals into the 90 all in one day. I never had a spec of cycle and didn't lose a fish or coral
