Ok, So ive got almost everything together for the initial filling of the
tank.

4 - 96w cf's from ahsupply
flourite substrate
125 gal tank *important part in this im sure haha*
2 - Magnum 350 Filters

Should I add fast growing plants at first, or for how long? or should the
tank cycle by itself for a few days? I have several platies / Corys needing
in asap...

Any sites on this, I couldnt find much on the krib.

Regarding cycling, you can speed or virtually eliminate the cycle if you add the
plants and some filter material or gravel from an established tank.
