With well-cured LR from an existing system, you will probably not experience a cycle at all in your new tank, especially since the rock was out of water for such a short period of time.

Now that you know your water quality is pretty good, now is the time to bone up on water chemistry, i.e. calcium, magnesium, alkalinity and pH levels. Here's a link from Christy's great Reference Library.....

There are a load of links at the bottom of the article for further reading to help you better understand the complexities of reef chemistry.

Good luck with your new nano
