Nice build! I like your LR. Btw, are those returns supposed to be so long? Just look a little longer than I've seen.
I'll be following along

They may.
Cycling with inverts is a terrible idea. I would return them.

I've read on multiple occasions to not use ammonia with surfactant, I'd try and find 100% pure ammonia (I hear ACE hardware carries it) or just throw in a raw shrimp and let it decompose.

Looking good with the moonlights man. Btw, I used brine shrimp to cycle my tank, but I'm sure a whole shrimp will be more efficient for your tank.

This is the light that's 6000k right? Based on my knowledge, that particular light is FW only because of the kelvin level and wattage. In general, SW lights don't focus on lumens (brightness) as much as intensity and type,
