I have have my tank up and running for close to a month now and have never seen a cycle. I have have only 20# of LR and 20# base. My ph is 8.2, and ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite are always 0. Is this normal? the rock was fully cured when I bought it. Just a few hermits and no fish yet.
 
It’s not unusual to have hardly a cycle with a well setup, "cured live rock" system, but the reason for the wait on fish is to let the aquarium age itself. You are keeping inverts alive, that is good.
