Welcome to Saltwaterfish.com, ken lim!
You are doing very well with your tank so far. During this cycle period (from now to about 6 weeks from now), you are going to want to keep an eye on your salinity, NO2 (nitrite), NO3 (Nitrate), NH3 (ammonia), and pH.
After the first week, you should notice that your ammonia will go very high. This is normal. Then, after about another week, this will come down to 0, and your nitrite will go up. This is also normal! Then, after nitrite goes back down to 0, your nitrates will go up. When this goes back down to about 20-40, you may do your first small water change.
While all this is happening, make sure to keep your salinity about 1.023 to 1.025.
While your tank is cycling, you may notice a lot of different stuff on your live rock. If you have any questions about it, post a picture or describe it and we can help you identify it.
Whatever you do, make sure you let your tank sit for 6 weeks without any fish, and keep testing your water every week (and write it down every time you test it). You will be ready for fish when:
NO2 = 0
NO3 = 0-40
NH3 = 0
pH = 8.2-8.3
Salinity = 1.022-1.025

This is off topic, but this is the second post I have seen someone say that about capital letters. ???? Caps mean yelling?:notsure: Didn't know that. I always thought "!!!" this was yelling. Don't mean to make it a big deal, it just seems like it is, apparently. By the way, welcome ken lim.:)
