Lightbulb bio spira and cycling

Hello everyone. I am now 3 weeks into my saltwater aquarium and everything is doing great. It is a 29 gallon aquarium so I added 20 pounds of live sand, 15 pounds of dry rock, 7 pounds of live rock, and I added enough bio spira for a 30 gallon tank. The 2nd day my tank was set up I added frozen shrimp to try to spike the ammonia, which didn't work. I got 2 clownfish a week after my tank was set up and I've had them for 2 weeks now. They are doing great, but there hasn't been a spike in anything yet, only the ph has fluctuated. About 4 days ago, the diatom bloom started and some hair algae has popped up today. Does anyone think my tank is cycled because there has been no spikes in any of my water parameters? Bio spira claims it cycles a fish tank within 24 hours. Any thoughts? Thank you.
