I want to set up a Red Sea peninsula 26 gall just because it’s a aio. I am confused on my timeline. So if I buy cycled rocks and a store near me sells cycled media how long do I need to wait before adding coral?

This doesn't have a one size fits all answer.

In theory, easy coral *could* (not should) be added almost immediately since corals use ammonia, etc as food and don't require a fully cycled tank to survive. But coral requires a more stable system than most are able to achieve quickly.

I suggest you read this (scroll past the equipment section if you don't have questions about that)...
