50 gallon cube cycle

[Thochrun]

I started my new 24X24X20 tank on Monday the 20th. I used 40 lbs off live sand as well as a 9lb cured piece of live rick. I know it's tough to tell exact when they cycle is done but with the live sand. And I know it's tough to be a dead on but how long before the tank is cycled enough for damsels?
