There is no time period for cycle, you should look for an amonia spike followed by nitrite spike (amonia will go down), until both are 0, don't settle for anything less than that, after both value are 0, 20%-25% water change and you are ready to start, start means 2-3 fish, wait 3-4 weeks, and same number again, let the bacteria population build up gradually, slow is fast.., patience is key

Yup I spend and do a lot of research before I step out my 1st. And also there's a few reefer guides me though out the process.

Lol my tank took 5 weeks to cycle ... you can minimise cycle time but I'd say just be patient good for Long term

Haha I'm talking about quarantine the fish

Take as long as you need to cycle. Best is let your tank run for months let it mature. But nobody have that patient.
