There used to be a couple of free programs out there to track your reef parameters on your PC. Somebody here probably knows where to find a good one.
Another great nano fish that is tough as hell is the Yellow tail damsel. If you take a close look at them they have some very cool markings.

Well then , your sand should settle in the water column in a day or two, maybe less.

The main thing that you need to remember here to give any coral or fish the best chance to make it in your new system is to test for nitrates and ammonia.
Once your tank is testing 0 in both of those areas lets say consistently for a week, anything you add should not have any issues relating to your cycle.

New tanks often (usually even) come with nasty diatom and other algae blooms, Cyano outbreaks and that's just to name a few.
even AFTER a cycle has finished so patience pays off huge int he long run, even if you're testing 0.

Rely on your water parameters and not some assumed timeline as their is no real average for tanks, they are all different.
