So so far I have added live sand and the salt water and have it cycling what now please any help?
No bubbles or fake decor in salt water in my opinion! adding live rock later may stall the cycle or cause a mini cycle. You could add dry/base rock later if you have to. You will have a better cycle with rock, more proud places for you BB to live. Yes, raw shrimp can get the cycle started. Do get a book tho, best piece of equipment I own, I refer to it daily...

Ok I put about 6 lb for now did a water test everytgong is 0 except .25 ppm ammonia
Oh btw the sand had live bb in it and I bought fully cycled rock 9$ a lb fml
Yeah, try not to add too much clean up crew early, they won't have a lot to eat until you start adding fish. What kind of livestock were you thinking? Did I ask before is it going to be reef or fowler?
Yeah unfortunately lionfish are too big for your set up. Check out liveaquaria.com for fish sizes and compatibility. While your cycling its the perfect time to research your stock list and their needs...
