you will be surprized what thye can live in. I had some live rock in a tub and its was pretty mich no water left in the tub i just put it in there to store it. 7 months later i took it out to cure it again. and there was pods in there in the bottom of some water that dripped over time and the water was cold and stale too..
-other then that keep the wate heated to 78-80
-lots of flow in thetnak to keep stuff going.
-you dont have to have any lights on for long periods that wil jsut start algae growth.
-get some cycle from the LFS its a bacterical growth in a bottle that will
-help your CYCLE going. amazing stuff use the whole bottle it wont kill your tank trust me.
and let your tank go thru its stages.
other then that just looking at your tank and your thread that you have rock in there 2 years old you shoudl be able to put stuff in your tank right away get the tests sortedd out.
if you have no AMMONIA you are good
if you have no NITRATES you are rocking .
good luck,
