I just started a new tank a little over a week ago. I started with all dry rock and new sand. I added a bottle of Bio-Spira and put fish and coral the same day. Never saw any ammonia and fish and coral seem healthy.

He input all that life on day one, with a single run of bottle bac at the same time. Literal dry rock skip cycle.
***due to posting in so many threads I just noticed I've been confusing Sarah's rocks here, dry, with live rocks from a different thread/ poster Honeycomb
Oops team sorry for confusion that's still a neat skip cycle thread above, both of you have waited thirty days longer than he did
