my tank has been cycling for 1 week with a raw shrimp my ph is 8.2 my ammonia is 1.5 ppm my nitrite is 0 and nitrate 0. is this good so far? i have live rock and play sand in my tank can i add about 10 pounds of live sand now cause i forgot? or will it turn live by itself??
 
Sounds fine so far, you can add the LS if you want or you can wait. I think adding LS to play sand is a good thing and it can not hurt.
I would add it now so the sand storm has time to settle out while the tank cycles.
