I have two questions...
First, if you cycle the tank using that bacteria in a bottle...how long do you have to wait to add the first fish?
Second, how long should you wait in between fish when adding to a tank? A week? A month? Assuming fish have already been quarantined that is.
 
The process can vary. Test often. Once ammonia and nitrites are zero you can begin to add. The same holds true once fish are in and you are looking to add more fish.

follow the nitrogen cycle to completion and you can add your fish at that time. Shouldnt take more than a month.

This is both good advice. I know it is hard to sit there and look and an empty tank for a month or maybe more, patiences when comes to reefing.
