Nice set up, I would take out the shrimp tho and let it do its thing.

No live sand or rocks with decomposing shrimp will cycle the tank much better.... I have all the time in the world I'm not rushing it at all ...

Just an idea, but you may want to throw that shrimp in a filter bag. They turn into mush and make a mess if you leave them in too long. Great tank BTW!

Looking good man! I was gonna suggest you thro the shrimp in the filter sock also. Plus you shouldn't run your skimmer or lights while cycling . The lights will give you premature algae growth and there's really nothing the skimmer can pull out yet except maybe some benifical bacteria

+1 I also said many times I think the best way of getting a quick and effective cycle is to get one of your fish buddies to give you an ounce of 2 of their really nasty skimate from their skimmer. Perfect to start a cycle. The naister the better
