Cycling a large tank

[bcopenhaver]

I set up a 265G over the weekend. It’s a 7 foote marine land tank. (84x24x30). I’ve got 200# of sand in it along with salt of course. What’s the best way to cycle this big boy? Thanks.

I would personally go fishless and add ammonia and some bottled bacteria to get everything going

I put the rock/sand and salt in mine, dropped in a raw shrimp and let it cook for 3 months.
