Thanks for replying. It has been cycling for 2 weeks. I put shrimp in the tank, have live rock and sand. I will measure the ammonia/nitrites/nitrates after a month.
Hello welcome to BAR
Where did you get your live rock was it from another tank or curred and kept wet?..And the sand Caribsea live arag-alive? Pics would be great of your new set-up

Welcome!

Just adding a shrimp and waiting for spontaneous colonization with correct bacteria is out of favor now for several reasons. Using a starter culture with Dr Tim’s One and Only or others on the market is much better and you can add it now after the fact as long as your ammonia isn’t too high.
I’ll look into buying it when the ammonia goes down
