Nice tank.... Cycling can take anywhere from about 5 to 8 weeks, depending on the tank. Be sure to test the water for ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and pH. Be sure to keep up with water changes as well. Do you have live rock in there? What type of lighting do you have? This will help us with what you can have in your tank. Good luck and congrats!!!!

Congrats on the tank. Also to help get the cycle going throw in a raw deli shrimp. As it rots it will "feed" the cycle. Could take a couple weeks could take a couple months. Best of luck, Shaun
