New tank cycle issues and questions.

Hello guys, I am new to the aquarium hobby and essentially still a learning noob so bear with me please.



I have a 14g Biocube that has been cycling for one week and a day and today at day 8 i tested my water for the second time and got the following



pH: 7.8

Ammonia: 0 ppm

Nitrite: 0 ppm

Nitrate: 0 ppm



My question is, has my tank not even started to cycle yet or was it done in 8 days? The first test was done at 2 days in and parameters were identical except the pH was at 8.2. I have not seen any spike in ammonia or nitrite.



I have 10lb of live sand, 9lb. of live rock and running as my filter media i have filter floss, chemipure, and aquaclear ceramic beads which im not sure if I should have. Any and all advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
