    I used a raw shrimp with shell removed. I let it cycle for about 6 weeks.

    Ah, congrats to you! A full 6 week initial cycle period. Not many start out this way but that is how I started as directed by some knowledgeable folks when I was starting out.

    Yes, but adding live bacteria will be even better in conjunction to the rock.
