Don't rush.
The quickest thing in this hobby is failure. Take the time tonight or soonest and read how the Nitrogen cycle works in a reef environment. It takes 2 - 4 weeks AFTER you have added an ammonia source to your tank and frankly you have not added one yet. The live sand you added might contain some of the needed bacteria to get started but it certainly is not a cycled tank. Ask away and we can help
