Just to clarify...my nitrites are at 0.35 ish. But I was looking for advice on what to do when it is zero. It seems that regardless of whether I start with all live rock or all dry with a bit of live...it means the same thing.

Naturally I have to wait far longer for coraline etc but I'm asking about fish and they require bacteria which I would have at that point.

When nitrite hits 0, I would definitely add something to keep the nitrogen cycle going.

And I have some Cycle in my fridge, it says for fresh or saltwater on the packaging.

+1. I figure it can't hurt anyhow.

Yeah I'm ok just waiting the extra day or two. It gives the skimmer longer to pull more tank fudge out =)
