    thats real soon to have anything in the tank. you havent even hit that ammonia spike yet. once that happens...everything will die in your tank...no ifs ans or buts about it. good job rushing the hobby, considering thats rule number one on the list of things never to do

    Even-so, he would still have a small cycle (at least) depending on certain factors, correct???

    That was probably way to early to put fish yet alone coral in the tank.
    I don't think I added a fish for about 3 months and then coral after about 4 months.

    ditto on the cycling, lets find out more about it. But remember everyone, ALOT of people on this forum have made the same mistakes if not worse. No need to harass them about it. Lets get more info and help them make it right!

    scubagator, thanks a lot. if you people wouldnt be so quick to judge, i transferred EVERYTHING from my old 10 gal including water, sand, filter, heater, liverock, and all. including a quick purchase of a little more sand and water. it was a year old. there was never even a mini cycle. so please get your facts right before you post that stuff haha. im not that stupid. and i waited a few days just to be safe to put everything in the 20. everything stayed in my dads 40 gal for the few days.
