I like to add clean up crew a couple days after your parameters have zeroed out, nitrite, nitrate and ammonia. A week or so after add a fish, and another week or two later add some nice zoas. Make sure the ones you add you like, as they do spread quite quickly in most instances.

tested the waters again today and here is what i got.
ph-been a consistent 7.8
amm dropped to 0
nitrite is still at .25
nitrate is between 10 and 20
i was surprised to see the ammonia drop to 0 already,could my cycle really be going this fast?

i did the ammonia test again to get my gf's opinion on the color she says that its .25 so its coming down anyway.

Put more caves and openings in the rocks and keep them off the back wall to increase circulation in the tank... definitely some cool pieces in there thouh..

oh ok...I just think holes in the rock... leaves more places to put corals later and for fish to swim through..
