If you want to have a fish in it I would add it first and let the tank adjust to the bioload before adding corals. If not then go ahead and add corals slowly. The more mature the tank is obviously the better off you will be. But if you aren't going to have a huge bioload for the tnak to adjust to then start to add some corals. I have seen nanos full of coral that have only been up for 2 months. Would I do it, no, but it can be done. I persoanlly am going to run mine with my two firefish and some shrimp for about a month or two and then start to add some coral, just to let it mature a bit.
