the tank can take up to a month to cycle but every time you add something the tank will go through a mini cycle as the bacteria that consumes waste populates to keep up with the increased bio load like i said, before you add anything else buy a good quality protein skimmer a good skimmer should cost no less than 200.00 btw a sea clone although it looks good and is somewhere
around a hundred bucks is not a good skimmer and is just a waste of money
IMO a good needle wheel skimmer will keep your tank healthy for a long time also with the lighting you will want to simulate the suns natural rays im not too sure what you have but corallife is a great place for a beginner to start with. keep up the good work
