I apologize in advance for the multiple threads I'm about to start. I have a list going of things I needed to address here on the site! 
I have set up my daughters 37 gallon in her nursery at this point and have around 30lbs or fully cured LR with some base as well, and about a 2 inch sand bed of new sand with a little from my big tank.
I thought I've read in the past where you could get a cycle going with some flake food, so I added a few pinches. Then I realized I'd be better off with some Rod's food. Will that get things moving? Should I expect a shorter cycle with so much LR already in the tank?
