I have a situation that I need some answer for. I need to pick up My corals that have been at a friends house for a few months. He needs the space and now I need to bring them home.
I know I just setup My tank a week ago and the rock had been cycled and cooked for close to 8 weeks, will I have a problem if I put them in the tank within the next few days. Can anyone help with this Dielema.

Test the water. If it was going to cycle it would have started by now. Is it just corals not fish?

Go for it!

A tank will not cycle if you use mature Cured rock!.. there is not need to cycle it as the rock already has the bacteria, The waste comming from corals are min.. just SLOW with the adding of fish, One at a time and you should be fine ! :D
