the time it takes for the tank to cycle depends on how cured your rocks are, it will take a while maybe a month or so
u will know when your cycle is over when your tests are zeros snails and other cuc goes first for a while then fish then corals how big is your tank? |

He has a 5.5g. If the rock is fully cured the cycle may be very short. As mentioned, let the tests be your guide. I have the same size nano and love it. Enjoy!

congrats on the nano tank, go check out the nano tank forums down here.
What are you planning on putting in that small of a tank? All clownfish get too big for a 5.5 gallon, and that size limits you to the smallest of the gobies, firefish, etc. Just curious.
