As coral reefer said, you should add no living creature to your tank until it is fully cycled, and that means I would wait a week or two after your readings are normal before adding anything. This is very important as most of the livestock will not survive if you add them too early. Remember to add only one fish at a time. If you add too many things at once your tank will go through a cycle spike because it's not prepared to handle the new bioload. Going slow even super slow in this hobby is the number one key to success. Honestly, you'll have an easier time of it if you do your research now and go slow. I made the mistake of adding too many fish when I started and that was 2 fish and my tank had a spike and I lost a clown. I personally agree to cycle the tank with regular LR. After your tank has finished cycling you can add a cleanup crew and then wait 2 weeks before adding anything else. I think corals should be added later than sooner as they are more susceptible to water quality changes, therefore the more mature your tank is, the better success rate. Hope this helped. Good luck and go SLOOOOOOOW _________ 20g
