Was your tank set up 2 weeks ago or was this rock an addition to an existing tank??
If you got your rock cured from the LFS then you will most likely not have a cycle.
Since your tank is 29 gallons, you will have a mini cycle with each new fish addition, so add one or 2 small fish at a time.

About 2 wees ago i added 29lbs of Ls and 30 lbs of LR... i've been checking my nitrite trate and ammonia levels regularly... the trates are at 20 and the other are at zero... should i wait longer... or put fish in?
Wait longer, till nitrates zero out. This way you can add one thing at a time and see the effect it has on water quality. So you can stop adding animals when you top out, or add filtration to support more life if needed.
Take your time it will pay off later.
