Ok I don't think my tank is ready for CUC yet. The tank is either SLOWLY cycling or did a mini cycle of sorts.
I don't have live rock and the live sand's life was questionable to me, so the shrimp might have been the only source of ammonia. I've posted my tank log again with updated numbers from today.

Ammonia "peaked" at 1.0 and is slowly dropping, today it's .25.
Nitrite is 1.00 has been there for 6 days.
Nitrate is 15, the color looked between 10 & 20.
Unless 1.0 is a good peak for ammonia I'm leaning toward adding some source of ammonia. I can't seem to find the bottled stuff so it might be another shrimp or a small CUC if this would be okay after looking at my water parameters.
Any one know what might be going on with my cycle? Any additional advice?
Thanks for all your help.
