At the 4-6 week mark you can expect a diatom algae bloom (brown algae). This is when you should add a clean up crew. 2 snails and 2 red leg hermit crabs should do the job. The algae bloom should pass quickly.
I would leave the shrimp for the moment. They can be a bit sensitive to new tanks. Maybe the end of January would be soon enough to add one.

cool, so crabs and snails for christmas it is then!

I also noticed a few tiny soft corals (or something like that) which came in on the live rock, makes for somehing to look at in there anyway.
