New Setup

[tmreeves]

I just started my 90g overflow and I was told to buy all of my live rock at once. I bought 130lbs.......how long should I wait befor adding anything else?
Should I do a water change....it has been three days.

Thanks for the help.

They said the live rock was cured, but they just got it in that day, so i am not sure.

You don't need to kill fish to cycle a tank. Cruel to the fish and you risk introducing disease and parasites..not a good idea. The live rock will cycle the tank. You can add a bit of food daily to speed up the process. I don't advise doing water changes as it slows down the cycling process. You need to let the ammonia and nitrites spike and fall and it can't do that if you do a water change. You may not get much of a cycle since you added so much rock but I would still wait a month before adding any livestock. Nothing good comes fast in this hobby;) Be patient:)
You can tell if the rock is cured by smelling it. Uncured rock smells nasty, foul..Cured just smells like rock
Good luck

Just drop a piece of table shrimp in the tank to get the cycle going. Then leave it alone for a few weeks. No need to expose ANY fish to the cruelty of a cycle.
