There’s no exact science honestly. I put acros in right after it cycles. I’ve done it as soon as 4 weeks of starting with dry rock and the tank is cycled. It’s just a matter of how well equipped you are to dealing with what comes. I’d tell most people to wait 6-12 months that don’t have the time or knowledge to deal with the uglies, but if you’re diligent and keep on top of husbandry duties, you can be successful. But in general, clearing out the ugly phases first usually leads to an easier path to success.

The whole 4 week acro thing is Pros only. I think saying that makes people think they can do it too. Which they don’t have the Pro skill set. Stuff goes sideways really fast since everything is fragile.
 
Let the curing begin!!!
