You can add rock later it's jst most prefer to not havevthe sand under the Rock as alot of fish dig plus trapped ditrius.

Unfortunately no livestock during cycling alot of inverts are more sensitive to amonia than fish.

yeah... that is what I heard about the LR... I was just going to push it down until I hit glass... too bad about not being able to add anything... fish keeping is about patience I guess... sigh.

wont be long within a few weeks youll be ready for a clean up crew , and some hardy corals....in the meantime use that time to aquascape, get your maintanance routine down,practise testing and keep algae out of your tank
