I'm in the middle of setting up the new sea horse tank. I didn't reuse the sand from the old tank as I had originally planned. I purchased 2 40lb bags of reef sand from the LFS and then I purchased a 30lb bag of agra-alive sand packed in water. That is all in the tank right now.

I plan to use 40 lbs Live rock that is just finishing up its curing cycle. (ammonia 0-nitrate 0- nitrite under .25 ph 8.4)

I plan to use 35G of water from my reef tank and the rest is newly made saltwater.

I have TONS of macros that are loaded with pods and othere critters.

This tank has a 29G sump attached.

How long will it take to cycle? I want to get the horses in their new home asap, but I don't want them to be in there if the tank has a long cycle.

Any suggestions? If i keep an eye on the water parameters and do daily water changes if necessary, can I add the sea horses now? The tank they are in currently is too small (20G) and it is having a severe HA and cyno outbreak due to insufficient filtering and bad lighting. ( all of thease issues have been fixed in the new tank)
