What is the easiest way to cycle a tank, 140 gallon Saltware fish only

I usually would just ad a piece of dinner shrimp from the grocery store to the tank and let it sit there for a day or two until the see the ammonia spike. Once that happens you are basically set and just have to wait it out.
Some fish food will also do the trick.

What will you be using for a biological filter?

anything that creats ammonia or die off will start the cycle. but the best is the dirrer shrimp.

I will be using LR and Reef Bones. What would be the easiest way to create algie on the reef bones? I have two freedom filters (www.freedomaquariums.com) with build in skimmers and biological filters. I also have crushed coral, about 100 p20 pounds of it.
