You would probably be safer waiting for about a month or so, then testing your water chemistry, and add corals if everything looks good.

Use water, live rock, and live sand from an established tank, and this will help reduce cycle time. Just NSW will not. DO NOT add corals until all params are in order. There is no quick fix in this hobby! Good Luck

I started my tank using live rock,sand, and water from an existing tank and it cut my cycle time in half but make sure to check your water parameters first. A MUST!
