Hi all. i apologize in advance for the typos and grammar mess ups hahah. like the title says, im very new to the salt water hobby.ive had fresh water for a while but just recently started a salt water tank. i have lots of questions about it and the little creatures in it.first question is, how long does it normaly take a tank to cycle? its a 55 gallon tank with a diy 20 gallon sump. i have a little over 40 lbs of live sand and 50 lbs of rock. 25 lbs live, 25 lbs base. i used a bottle of bio spira because i was told it would "jump start" the cycle process. so how long should my tank take to cycle?
