let there be water

I think that your tank/live rock has probably cycled already or as you say perhaps there was nothing major due to using cured live rock. On your stocking list if you are going to go with Coral Banded Shrimp my experience is leave the other shrimp out as the CBS will kill them. In my 230 my CBS have killed any other shrimp I have tried to put in. I like them and they spawn in my tank and make food for the corals and fish.
