Welcome to R2R.
-You said that your heater broke. If it is glass, then you need to make sure you got it out of there ASAP. When glass thermometers break, mercury leaks out.
-The most important thing in this hobby is patience. Especially a reef tank. You can wait up to almost 6 months before adding a single coral.
-I second barb on adding a chromis. They are probably the hardiest saltwater fish, and look very nice. If the chromis does survive its nice to have a few of them because they can school.
-Any ideas on what corals you plan on adding or what fish once it is done cycling?
