I would do like what she said but besides that if you keep up with that maintenance and use established filter media and some BB and dose ferts from the start in about a week usually you can start to stock
I don’t believe in waiting 6-8 weeks or whatever ridiculous amount time it is because Its better to just get the tank going. If you do bb and established media then u can add fish but you just gotta so it slow. Don’t do Like a goldfish in a 40 gallon as your first fish. You would do a smaller lower bio load fish like danios (don’t mix goldfish and danios). Also you get bacteria from the dry start iirc
