Brown stuff on the sand

Water changes are always good.
For Kenya, don't need as long a photo period, perhaps 8
Snails and little blueleg hermits are good

Your ammonia is a little high and this would stress the fish out and could kill them if it gets to high. I dont see nitrate dropping even after " cycle " its only getting higher.

Mixing up all the debris could have caused this to rise.

What size powerheads do you have?
Whats the water source?

Shrimp are fine, I like cleaners best but as a clean-up crew, you are better off getting an armada of tiny blue-leg hermet crabs and some snails such as Astrea aka Turban snails. Emerald crabs are also cool.

Stay away from the temptation to get more fish or a sea anemone at this time. Keep up the water changes and keep up the good work!
