Have you put anything in the tank to create Ammonia? If not drop a cocktail shrimp or fish food in the tank to let it break down. this will tell you if the die off for the 8 hours is going to cause a mini cycle. As for the Zeo part. Zeo will help in the cycle process. but you should still see Ammonia and Nitrite spikes. They maybe short and small.

Thanks for your reply - that's what I suspected but wasn't sure how much the zeovit could mask the cycle. I was expecting some cycle from the rock and was surprised to see nothing - I guess there was minimal die off of the rock. The smell disapeared in the first day.

I moved a couple damsels into the tank to trigger a cycle. Will keep monitoring and hope to see some spike.
