new tank for zoa's

[milkshake]

Need some real good advice here about a new tank that I am setting up that will be dedicated to zoo's. I have a 24gal. aquapod w/64w pc's 50/50. Just about everyone in my reef club says to use Bio-Spira for cycling the tank. I was told to put a damsel or two for the ammonia that is required by the Bio-Spira to start working effectively. Two days is what I was told that the tank should be ready for putting the zoa's in. My question here is, is this long enough for the tank to cycle (w/Bio-Spira) before adding zoo's? Of course there will be several pieces of LR. My thoughts on this is to wait it out for a week at least before adding them. I have several new zoos coming in this next week and none are cheap by any means. I don't want to make the wrong decision here and kill the guys.

There is no "set time" for tank cycling. Test your tank and when the levels are good start adding the corals you want.

It takes a couple days for the bio-spira to settle. I dont think you need to add any damsels. Just add the bio-spira then check your levels in a couple days to see if everything is ok.
