I want to start cycling a new tank for brackish fish with 3 Mollys. Can I just add substrate with minimum decor (2 plastic plants) and than later on add my full on 'masterpiece' later down the road. Will adding a lot of decor later and changing out the 2 plants affect my cycling process?
 
Adding more sand, rocks or plants won't affect cycling UNLESS the aquarium has an undergravel filter. If you have an undergravel filter, adding anything that substantially changes the depth of the filter bed, or creates dead spots underneath it (like rocks do), will effect or even reduce filter effectiveness.

Otherwise, if you have some other type of filter, feel free to change things around as you go along.

Cheers, Neale
