New reefer day one setup/ beginning cycle

[NeonNomad]

So I set up my first reef tank tonight. It is a coralife 29 gallon biocube I used live rock from my LFS (which ill need more of lol) and I also used live caribsea Hawaiian black. I also dosed Fluval biological booster as directed. The lights are only on to take the photo i know I should leave them off during the cycle. Still doing continuous research. Any advice on what my next step should be is appreciated the more info the better!

Go slowly. And welcome aboard. No livestock purchases that have not been researched for days. Same for anything.
