OK, sand settled down and my 5yr old and 4yr old scrubbed the glass clean lol. I did an ammonia test with Nutrafin just to try them out, but i will get an API and a Salifert test kit soon.
Here are some pics of the tank now and a test result.For $22.00 it better be good.

Did you upgrade the stock lighting? If not, you'll probably only get away with very low lighting corals. The stock LEDs are meant more for freshwater viewing

Now heres comes the big Question that i should already know. Should i take the shrimp out now that my Ammonia lvls are high or should i just leave it in there till the end? My other tank kinda cycled in 3 days. But cant rtemember if i took shrimp out or not att.

A three day cycle? Did you take a lot of already cured live rock from another system?
I would remove the shrimp now that ammonia has spiked. Next will be nitrites. Once your ammonia and nitrites hit zero, you can do your first water change and you're ready to go.
