So the readings came out like this. I'm a little puzzled because I haven't done any water changes or anything and the nitrates are back at zero.
Any thoughts?

No livestock is no nutrients is low or undetectable No3.
You are ready for your first fish.

Do I wait to get a CUC after my first fish?

You can throw a CUC in there too.
Make sure you keep them fed as you don't have much in there yet that they can feast on I assume.

Nice build. Seems like you have some really good guidance here. I'm from Beacon NY. Where in NY are you from?

Any idea what these purple spots are? I have a couple spots on the sand bed and also the rocks. I DIDN'T SEED the tank with live rock and I haven't introduced any coraline algae. Thank you

The sand was easier had the stir it up. But the rock was really hard and had to take a razor blade

Part of the cycling process.
You will see more of it if it is algae, if Cyano you can add more flow.
But in most cases it should disappear.
How is your livestock doing?

Test results are looking great.
You might start thinking for a few soft corals too :)
What kind fishies you have?
