How big is your tank? I would suggest you wait on the cleaner shrimp until your tank is 3-4 months old so they have enough to scavenge. A new tank, even with cured rock is still a "harsh" environment for critters until it has had a few months to age. I would suggest you move very slowly on adding critters for the first few months to avoid losing them. Even if your tank didn't show any signs of cycling, you could have inaccurate test kits, or you can call he diatoms new tank syndrome instead.

my tank is 65 gallons with a 40 gallon sump. alright well i will take it easy for now and wait a few months before adding anymore. i've been spending a lot of money on my tank so far so it'd be better for the tank, and wallet. as for the test kits i dont think they are inaccurate. what are the odds my ammonia and nitrate test kit being off?

Probably sick of hearing the negative stuff. But your goby just may starve to death as well. They eat organisms in your sand bed. With a tank that new there will not be enough in there and what is there, he has most likely already ate.
