Just 3 lbs. of LR in a 20 long---theyve only been in an hour

sounds like uncured live rock to me... let it cycle..

you can kick start it by throwing in a cocktail shrimp from your grocery store. But it may take a few weeks for your cyle to finish before you can add fish.

You don't need to kickstart it. Your ammonia is already up and your cycle is on the move. In my opinion, the live rock is doing the trick and there's no need for a dead shrimp. Just my thought...

your right, I misread the post. The shrimp would have been used to get amonium moving.
