bv_ reefer do a large water change at least 20%, it won't wreck your cycle and it will help keep the inevitable algae outbreak to a minimum especially if you have been running without a skimmer. Just make sure the salinity of the make up water is the same as the tank



*EDIT* oh and hold off on adding fish for as long as you can, there are some really neat critters that come in the live rock that you may never see if there are fish in there. For me the hobby is all about the microfauna
