wait a good month or 2 before you add anything

IMO it really depends on your goals for the tank since your corals may dictate which fish you can keep and vice versa. Look at what type of inhabitants (fish vs corals) are most desireable to you and start there knowing that this will tend to narrow down your options as time goes by. For me, corals were more important so I started with the live rock and live sand, added the corals, then added fish that I liked that would not eat the corals or other critters that I had in there.
