I've pulled it off in about a week using cured re seeded live rock,1/2live sand from an established tank and 1/2 water from an established tank. Basically at that point your just doing a 40-50%water change. p.s when the store told you no cycling on the live rock they ment no die off on the live rock,cycle still needs to be done to add the bacteria and such.

The idea on the you can't rush a cycle. Is how exactly do you propose he is going to do that now after the tank is already set up and has livestock in it?I am very aware at the fact that you can push a cycle but that is all before you add a tank full of stuff who is gonna suffer now as it wasn't cycled properly before it was all added.

And you might want to educate yourself on base rock. It does still have a cycle.I bought 150 pounds of base rock and i still had ammonia and went through a full cycle. So in all reality you still have die off.All the stuff that dies in all the nook's and crannies inside that rock will decompose when added to water.If you are buying actual live rock which has been dried out that is...Which is what he stated to me he bought.
