If you want a planted tank add them in now. Adding live plants can make a tank cycle within two-three weeks. They use up the nitrogen themselves and also usually have some of the needed bacteria hitchhiking along with them.
Obsidius - It can take a few weeks for the tank to cycle. However if your plants are growing well you may not see any detectable NH3, N02-, or NO3- for a long time. The plants will eat it all up.

Yes, I have new plants arriving this week to plant. My filter is a biowheel and I put in one of my established ones in the new tank to hopefully aid the cycling. As a newbie, what parameters on all testing I am doing are considered ideal once cycling is done?
Thank you so much V, I have learned so much from the pro's on this site even though sometimes I feel like my questions are so basic they may appear to be Duh, but the help I get is priceless to me.
