I suggest getting it setup soon as possible to get the tank to cycle. You need to get some hardy fish like goldfish in there first to get benefitial bacteria growing. These bacteria turn ammonia(extremly toxic to fish), into nitrates then nitrites(which arent as harmful as ammonia). If you go to any aquarium website and do a search on cycling , should have a ton of info.
