Looks good.
Fish? Depends on what you want, not all compatible with each other, or with invertebrates, or coral
What do you mean you got water from lfs?

They have water you buy for a dollar a gal instead of mixing your own

How does that speed the process?

Have to watch your cycle. First ammonia spike, then nitrite spike, then nitrate spike. Then 10-15% water change, then ready for coral or fish.

Do you have skimmer running? Running lights? Fuge? are you feeding tank as if it has livestock?

No I don't have a skimmer running as of yet just got it up and running with the stock filter didn't make any mods to the tank

yeaa.. when i started my 32 i made the mistake of throwing dirty ol dry pukani in there.. ended up with a bacterial bloom and took over 2 months to cycle. lesson learned as i now have my rocks for the 93 sitting in a rubber bin

Heres a little before and after of the cycle. pretty much all you can see is how much color the rocks took in that time.
