    Should be ok to go ahead and add a first one, My advice, start with something cheap and very hardy, I.E. GSP or Xenia i think they can survive a nuclear holocaust

    What kind of lighting have you got again?

    Oh, and I would wait at least another month before adding corals. 4 weeks does not a cycle make :)
