Default Re: tank 1 month old

Hi new guy here, My tank is now 1 month old. Its a 35 gal tank with 40 lbs of live sand and 28 lbs of live rock. The rock was added 1 to 2 weeks ago. I tested today and all my readings came back close to zero. My question is; is it now time to start to get fish and if so what are the best non agressive fish to start off with?
My other question is; I thought that when a tank is cycled the nitrate level goes up, how come I'm getting a zero reading? After I put the live rock in my ammonia did spike to 8+ and over the last few days has gone down to zero, the nitrite did go up, but now its also zero. How could my tank cycle so fast? or did it.
Dave
