also whats the most interesting invert that could live in this?(no mantis shrimp my mom is scared by them)
you can put live rock in stright away...
interesting inverts hmmmm shrimp are quite funny, if you get a goby and a shrimp thats fun to watch.
i'm not sure if these can go in a nano tank but yesterday i saw a sea slug...they are the weirdest thing i've ever seen so i would like to know if they are ok in a nano...it said they are reef safe...but am i gonna be safe as i've read some get pretty big and have toxins

yeah as soon as the salt is at right level you can add the liverock what about a group of sexy shrimp or pistol shrimp/goby pair there interesting to watch
You need to make sure the tank is cycled. Is the live rock cured or raw? Do you have a test kit to monitor ammonia, nitrate and nitrite? I would not add any animals until your tank is completely cycled. The amount of time can vary. Go by the test kit. If you "feed" the tank (e.g. add flake food or small pieces of shrimp), and you get an ammonia reading after a day or so, the tank is not cycled. a tank is cycled when ammonia and nitrite read zero, and you detectable nitrate. at that point, do a water change to get nitrates down, and slowly start adding livestock.

Coralline yes, macro algae no....unless you want to use macro as a nutrient export mechanism..

Dont add inverts untill the cycle has finished and a large water change has been done to replenish trace elements...
