Just saw this. I am not sure how this site works.
With my tank we tested the water. Made a couple of water changes 20% approx. We added water and old dry rocks in March, lights very low but nothing new until May, we added live rock that was checked over. We test water each week. Our numbers are stable. When you no longer have brown stuff on the sand I think it is safe to add corals. I added a lot of the copepods and cleaning crew. The conch are like vacuum cleaners for the sand.
Hang on and go slow.
When you add live rock be sure to put them in a bucket or small aquarium before you place them in your DT. Really check them over for hitchhikers you do not want. Many good surprises are on the rocks. The live rocks helps get your tank going. We added fish late May.
Happy reefing.
