What should I do next?

[jimmy dix]

I started my 90gal tank on Saturday. What should I do next? When should I add live rock or shouldn't I add it? What kind of fish should I add and when? How many fish could I add in the furture. My levels are .0122. thanks

Add the liverock right now and let it cycle

I agree with yetex...Add the live rock now and let it cycle, otherwise, if you add a lot of live rock after the cycle completes, you may actually start another cycle. I dont know how you are, but I dont have the patience to wait through two cycles...

How long is a cycle? Can I wait a day or two to get the rock?

The cycle will pretty much start once the rock is in the tank and start to die off. It will be fine to wait a day or two.
I did the same thing pretty much. I started my tank with the sand and a few pounds of liverock and then a week later put 51 lbs more lr in it. Thats when the cycle starts. My cycle lasted 16 days but it varies from tank to tank.
