Best place to buy rocks?

[CRS]

I'm still unsure weather its safe for me to put in live plants straight away?

I plan on having a lot of live plants, a few pieces of bog/driftwood and some rocks that i found last night, the tank is 520L so it's a decent size tank, if i need to buy bottles of whatever to make the process easier i will do, but as much as i appreicate all the great responses i'm still just as confused if it's safe to add fish soon or to wait 6 weeks.

I'm going to make a coffee now.

Put a whole lot of plant in the tank. Aquatic plants are basically weeds get them growing and then add fish a few at a time. To start with have your lights on a timer, 10 hours on. Some of the plants will struggle others will thrive, at that point we can determine what will survive and what will not.

I Haven't even switched the lights on yet to test them, i have two different types of LED's supplied with the tank.

With good lights and no fish in the tank, you can't do wrong by blasting 12 hours of light at your plants.
There's a slight risk of an algal bloom, but this is very slight at this stage of the game, simply because you have no waste nutrients to supply any algae, 'cos you have no fish.
Giving plants a boost is one good way of slightly increasing the rate of your cycle.

I'll set a timer for 12 hours!

I am waiting very patiently for the delivery of the pump...

More coffee.
