Default Finally, live rock arrives tomorrow

and everything is set up and ready to go after several months of putting the pieces together.

A few questions.

Obviously I wait for ammonia an nitrites to be zero. But what about nitrates?

I was thinking I'd do a big water change after a couple of weeks to bring down nitrates.

Once nitrates are less than 10 ppm, should I add fish, or still wait longer to let the system mature?

Also while the live rock is curing I thought I'd leave partial lights on half of the day to start up some coralline growth, does this make sense?
