Stocking time.

[Markw]

I will be putting my 55gal through a cycle soon so I can start adding livestock within the next month. My question is, in what order should I add things and what goes in during the cycling process? I know the substrate and decorations can be in there while it cycles, but how about plants? I didnt think they could, but I figured Id ask. After the tank has cycled, in what order do you add the livestock?

1. Plants, Inverts, Fish
2. Plants, Fish, Inverts
3. Fish, Inverts, Plants
4. Fish, Plants, Inverts
5. Inverts, Fish, Plants
6. Inverts, Plants, Fish

Thanks in advance.
