Nitrite hit around 4/21/09. Should be done cycling now! A lot of people like to wait until the tank is more "established", around 6 months to a year. Then they add corals and such. You could start out with a few easy ones like mushrooms or xenia and see how those go. Get a test kit for mag and alk.
