when to add live stock

[Red44]

Hi I had my tank running for 2 months with nothing but 26 pounds of live rock yesterday I got 50ibs more pounds of live rock I tested my water today and everything was perfect so should I still wait a week or two or can i add a few fish and snails/hermits?

How was the last 50lbs transported? id watch some die off and the resulting mini cycle that follows If after a few days there's no amo spike id say go for it

I got the live rock at my local fish store while it was on sale and it all has great coral line alge on it and shapes

Ok you may not get the die off add fish slowly 1-2 then wait a cupple weeks before adding more this lets the Bacti catch with the bio load Nice catch on the rock

Thxs I'll probley have to wait a week anyway untill I have time to go back
