So my tank has been cycling for over a month now and I'm curious as to what can I start adding to it so far. I got my water tested and everything is in perfect condition. I already ordered a fluval 306 and a skimmer for it also.

What size tank? I would suggest a test kit if you don’t already have one and start with a small clean up crew. Add things slowly and test often in the beginning. Try to keep salinity as stable as possible and watch your ammonia and nitrates.

First off, welcome to R2R!
It looks like you started with all dry rock, what ammonia source did you use to cycle the aquarium? Do you have the exact results of the tests that you could share?
Any and all details are helpful.

Hi David and welcome to R2R.
It looks like you are doing things slow and that is just the right thing to do. Add some clean up crew. If you have a fish you want to add, that should be OK. But as others have said, the more info you share about what you have and especially were you want to go with the tank, the better the responses will be.

Welcome to r2r!!
Sweet. I have the exact same set up that has been up for a little over two years now. Including the 309. Keeping everything as stable as you can is the trick with small sumpless tanks.
If you are sure you are cycled,

Yay! Always room in the hobby for another.
I 2nd or 3rd the nomination for a CUC and maybe a fish. Just a small bioload to kick things off.

Welcome to R2R and to the Hobby David!!!
Everyone before me has posted good advise, to add to their comments I would say that instead of perfect condition water you should get into the habit of listing all parameters so the ones answering can give a better solution to any issues that could come up.
With that being said,

Hey guys sorry for the late responses. Ok so since my last post I've bought two fishes and like 10 snails and a better light. I bought a fluval sea also a hydor canister filter. Everything seems to be doing very good. My brother Inlaw also donated some Kenya tree which are growing super fast oh one more thing also bought a coralife protein skimmerSo my tank has been cycling for over a month now and I'm curious as to what can I start adding to it so far.
