TFC Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hey Mike, nice tank... I'm starting my first shrimp tank too.. mine has been set up for a week. How long did you cycle and how did you cycle? Thanks, TFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamedic Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Just give the tank time. The cycling process usually takes six to eight weeks. After about eight weeks, your ammonia and Nitrite levels should be acceptable, and you can add shrimp. Do not add shrimp until the ammonia and Nitrite levels have both dropped to zero.

Mike16T Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Nice set up! I love the wood work and those dragon stones.. Crypt flamingo is so nice, it makes a statement in my tank as it is the only different color plant from the rest. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
