I am not sure how soon you should wait to add live stock, but everything I added seems to be doing ok so far. My Dad hooked me up with four starter corals. They are a Kenya Tree, Green Star Pollups, Green Mushroom, and a Xenia. He also added some crabs and snails. We used about a gallon and a half of his water witch is aged. About a week before I went to North Carolina to pick up my package Dad stuck some sand in his refugium to make it alive and added a couple cups from his own tank to get me started. For now here are some more pics.
