[fritz28]

Hi All
Just in general, time wise with a new tank, taking into account everything is 100% , also take into qccount new tank, new water ect ect, how long befote you can add live rock, soft corals, hard corals, fish ect ect ect.?............

live rock is usually added first and then corals and fish usually at least 6 weeks for a cycle to occur. soft corals are usually easier so they can go in once tank is stable, after the cycle and hard corals benefit from more maturation of the system - maybe 3 months or so. It's really hard to give a general idea because each system will be different so this is "very general" in terms of time spans
