Your tank will need to cycle which will take a while. You can add in a hardy fish like a damsel or clown to help with the process but that's about it for now. Keep an eye on your amonia levels.

I would add more live rock
 You're going to need about 24lbs of it total and it's more interesting to watch than a bare tank while it cycles It's usually a safe bet to give it a couple weeks or a month before adding anything in the way of fish or corals but you can add some CUC (clean up crew lik snails and crabs) once your cycle is finished. Do you have a test kit to monitor your water parameters? That will help tell you when you are ready to add fish and corals. Best advice to live by in this hobby: be patient! It's hard but it's better than a tank crash! There are lots of folks here to help you at Canreef, welcome!

My suggestion would be to add 10 to 15 lbs more of Live Rock and let that initiate and run your cycle.
Do not use fish to cycle your tank. ( this is where I write a paragraph of detailed torture a fish is put through during a cycle; but I will refrain). Get the LFS that you sponsor to weekly test your water to let you know where you are at on the cycle. Also feel free to ask questions. Kevin
