New to reef...need some advice

[banditpowdercoat]

Been cycling my tank since 22 feb. 45g, 40Lb LR. 40Lb live Sand. Put 24 hermits in @ 2 weeks. Levels are almost down to 0. I have learned/read that alot depends on the amount of die off on your rock. If the rock was out of water along time, there will be more die off, this will take longer for tank to cycle. I will be adding fish end of next week. need to resist urge to add alot, JL is 5 hrs away. Hopefully Royal Gramma, bangaii Cardinal, a goby and longnose butterflyfish. Pair of Clowns later
