new tank

[60Cubed]

i just set up a new tank. everytime before i have waited like a month or so to put anything in besides cheap fish. is there a minimum time frame for corals? i have bought a couple of rocks with some sps and a coco worm, x-mas worms. my tank has been up a week. what is the fastest i can hope to get these in my tank? opinions.

thanks,
lance

one thing to always remember is that in this hobby only bad things will happen fast. a new tank will cycle for about 2 weeks or so. then you get a crazy algae and pod explosion which come and goes for a few months. but at about 6 months usualy the tank is established enough for tricky corals. but the hardy corals i would say can be put into the tank after the first month.
