starting my FOWLR tank

[PJtree23]

Hey whats up my fellow reefers (guess im not a real reefer yet but anyway...)

I have collected supplies for my 30 gal FOWLR tank.

I purchased live rock that has been running in another tank for a while as well as 20 gal of the water it was in. I also have some rock from petco with good pruple color and hydra looking creatures.

I was also given a peppermint shrimp, hermit crab, fiddler crab, and snail. The tank is setup and running now (will get pics soon).

Hypothetically if my water tests turn out favorable can I purchase fish for it or do I have to wait for more live rock growth?

I am confused because I was reading this articl/guide:

Setting Up a FOWLR Aquarium

Which instructs me to simply wait, do water changes and monitor water parameters.

What am I waiting for?:coffee:

Thanks for helping a newbie out...flame suit on
