Imho that's just adding more chemicals unnessecarily to a tank.
Be patient... you can see a wide array of life in your tank just amongst your live rock and sand while you are cycling. If 4 weeks is a long time to wait, this may not be a good hobby to take up...
yes like he said.. i have a big crab i got as a hitch hiker.. fun to watch.,, u can watch the bugs travel around your tank too.. there is life in there now i bet! you just have to look closer!
i got worms, stars, and a big ole crab that picks stuff off my rocks, hopefully die off!
