Cycling procedure is the same as with any marine tank.

If the rocks are not cured, they should produce enough die-offs to kickoff the cycling process. If not, you can just add a small piece of market prawn.

Good also lah , lower maintenance .

But FOWLR also with LRs . Probably some nice scaping plus fish will be cool

Looking forward for your postings!

Iq5 really too challenging .

FOWLR best to go 3ft or higher.. you'll tend to overstock and 2ft is really small but still better! hope to see your tank soon!
