Keep a close eye on the water parameters like ammonia, nitrite and nitrate since you already have live animals in there.

Good luck and have fun. It looks OK so far. The water should clear up in 24 to 48 hours. And then you'll start getting a diatom bloom and your glass will need to be cleaned every 2 or 3 days for 2 to 4 weeks. But that to will pass.
 
Welcome. Hope it all goes smoothly.
Like Ron mentions, you won't want to dose ammonia to cycle your tank.
Obviously, your rock was already cultured and alive. Good chance you're gonna be in good shape.
 
Congrats! The mushrooms will make it, no worries. They’ll survive nuclear war. I’m sure they’ll eat ammonia like gators. Keep updating with pics!
 
You know your off to a good start when you say ( You finally made enough water to fill tank ) A+ for that. Most getting into the hobby just run TAP. My suggestion, ask questions and read as much as possible on here. Good Luck and move slow
 
Ty all for good wishes . Btw what are those things on picture?
I did some rock rearrange to have more space in the back for glass cleaning.
