Hi, I need some advise. I started another shrimp tank 20 gallon, I had a saltwater tank before same tank. I have it up and running a little over a week with moss, red plants-AR mini - L sp red, other moss and crypts small ones. I have been using seachem stability for 9 days straight -it says on the bottle to use 8 days... The issue is I shouldn't of bought any shrimp but bought CBS and CRS low quality for cheap 1-2 dollars each 30 altogether they have been in my tank for a day look well some look see through instead of white -stressed I'm sure! I have been staeting to dose seachen prime full cap to stop the ammonia-nitrates, and do 1 gallon RO water changes a day stared today, should I continue to do this regime for a week until the tank is OK -cycled ? thanks for ant help..

overrall I think buying it early was a bad choice since bee shrimp are sensitive to ammonia nitrate etc more than neos in my experience. I'd test the water a few days after you've dosed prime (so that u dont get a false positive) to see what your parameters are at.
