You had asked about using a quick start solution....I highly recommend Biospira. I have used it on both of my tanks and got fully cycled within about 3 days.

Awesome.... I got some rock with corals I didn't even know about and they magically popped up later!..... how has the play sand worked out for you? I was going to use it but people said it was bad for diatoms?

I had washed it in a five gallon bucket mixing and stirring it and then soaked it for a hour then Rinsed it in a big tote before adding it to the tank below my live sand so far so good
