Ok partner I can see I hit a sore spot for you. The question was can you rush a cycle the answer is yes.....simple. Im sorry the liverock you bought wasnt fully cured,fyi all liverock will allways leech these nasties even after years in a tank die off is a never ending battle as the pores of the rock fill with detrious and dead bacteria. Ask around partner I know im not the only one rushing cycles like this. P.S if you want to skip cycle buy your liverock from a fellow reefer directlly from display ie(seeded) rather than from an lfs.

P.S I never said you didnt have to cycle,it just speeds it up as the nitrifying bacteria are allready present. Similar to the cycle you get when you add a new fish
also why couldnt he replace his rock or add new stuff? I suggest you take a deep breath read what I wrote and think about what your saying

Cheers
