I didn't calculate the amount of rocks i needed based on tank volume, i bought them based on my needs and how i want to aquascape the setup. So, IMO it's not that accurate to use the amount of LR i bought to gauge how much you would need. However, its fine to do so if you intend to incorporate another filter to assist the LR and sandbed.

You'll probably have bacteria becoming pathogenic or massive dieoff of the colonies. Either way, it's not going to be good. I believe that there is no short cut to this hobby so everyone has to be patient to succeed. If I did not remember wrongly, I cycled my tank for about half a year or so |

unless it's air-conditioned, or else normally your room temperature is about 29-31.
heat generated by light, pumps etc.. need to be taken into account. So normally, if without a fan, your tank temp can easily reach 30-31. if the weather is hotter, it'll go worse. |
