you should have matured your tank for a month with all the lights off by now if you are ready to add inverts. you will need to add some mini hermits and turbo snails etc, then leave it a couple of weeks and then add your first fish. leave it about 2 weeks between adding fish. do you have live rock and what skimmer do you have?

I am no expert on anything but I have played with fish tanks for years now and the best advice in the whole world is to go slow. Let the eco system build up and stabilize inbetween each stock purchase. I do this even with cured live rock and corals, even though I know people who don't and seem to have no problems. This is not a cheap hobbie no need to waste $$ and kill pets. ste2k3 knows his stuff, listen to him.

Go as slow as you can. It is much better to go slow than to go fast. You should always allow the fish to settle down. You don't want to stress the fish by adding more tankmates before they've established their territory.

Also, if you add the fish slowly, you'll be able to tell whether other fish in your tank are getting along well or not.
