I waited about a month, but the rock that I started with was dry so I didn't need to worry about die off. After a month a changed about 10% and I seeded the dead rock with a bit of live rock. The only draw back to starting with dry rock is that it takes way longer for your tank to get where you want it. It's been 3 months and I'm finally starting to see some coralline algae growth.
