Cycling help

So my 3 gallon jbj picotype has been up for a week now. I started with 4 lbs of the PA "possibly cultured" fully cured Fiji lr and 4 lbs of their aquacultured live sand. I had it shipped UPS Ground but it was only in transit for around 3 days and seemed very well shipped. After a little less than a week of not seeing an ammonia spike(but definitely ammonia present) i began dosing with a small amount of ammonium chloride to hopefully help get things rolling. I have yet to see any traces of nitrites like i figured i would by now since i started with the liverock. I also began to see a small amount of brown algae on some of the sand. Is this normal for the cycle or am i doing something wrong? Thanks!
