I would wait at least 2 to 3 weeks to make sure everything is okay, test the water parameters, and then think about adding more fish.

if you can go ahead, theres all kinda stuff on the rocks for a clean-up crew, and algae grows really fast in a new tank.

what a show off!! lol, your tank is awesome n my sand is gettin brown in some spots so i asume its algae. i'm putting some sm crabs from my 55 in the 90 today. also i was wondering what these super small white bugs on my glass are, anybody know? should i be concerned?

thats gonna happen with the sand, yes its algae, those bugs are good, check the hitchhikers thread for more info might be rotifers.

omg i hate to admit it but i'll know tomorrow what they're called. it sits on 4 legs n has like 4 sets of short purple bulbs at least thats the color its looks like from underneath n 1 or 2 bright white lights in the middle, he says this is what i need if i want some cool corals. i was also wondering if my koralias should face forward from the back or what?
