Keep up the good work. You're doing fine. Also, if you always check your parameters before you are going to add anything, you'll know if it's safe to add or not. I would do the same a Lynn and wait a week after you move the rock to the tank to let things stabilize. Then check params. If everything is ok at that point I would do a small addition.

Another thing about your plan is that when you begin to add, do it slowly. The original plan kind of looked like when you hit a certain poiny it was ok to go ahead and add all your fish. That isn't the case. When you add livestock do it gradually. It takes some time after the addition for the bacteria to adjust to the increase in bio load.
