Again you will want to watch your ammonia levels, invertebrates, like
snails and crabs are even more sensitive to ammonia then fish. Since you
have started with totally new water its going to take awhile for the bacteria
that breaks down the ammonia to build up, 4-6 weeks is the average. Its a
bugger you have a nice new tank and you want to get fish in there but you
have to be patient. Just test your water and watch for the ammonia to spike
up then it will come down once it comes down you can start putting in
livestock.

was the rock cured, if not then it wont be ready for awhile, if it was
cured you will probably still get a ammonia spike, you should test for
ammonia every couple or few days and when it is at zero then you could start
putting a few things in.
