32g LED Biocube - Cycle Question

[manissen12]

Hi everyone,
Building out a 32g led biocube. Ordered rock online before christmas and it'll arrive on the 31st. Right now I have sand and saltwater in the tank. I was curious if I should add a piece of liverock from a LFS until the dry rock arrives? Would this be beneficial in starting the cycle process? Or would it be best to wait, add the dry rock then some LR to seed?

Adding a piece of clean liverock will certainly add living organisms, which is generally beneficial. However, you’ll need to start the nitrogen cycle.
