I don't see why there needs to be another thread, we have three pages here:
Shrimp and cycles Quote:

I did find one article that recomended using it when cycling the rock outside the tank,as in a tub before putting the rock in the tank.It said not to do this if cycling the rock in the tank.

I definitely agree with this. If you are getting fresh live rock with some die off, you get an ammonia spike and start your cycle. If you are curing your live rock outside your main tank to minimize the nutrient buildup in the display tank then it would be a good idea to add an ammonia source and make sure you have a good bacterial base before you add any livestock.
I really don't see what the debate is?
You like to cycle your tank with fresh live rock, I don't think that is a wrong way, and neither is using a piece of shrimp or alternative ammonia source....
