TFC Posted January 14, 2017 Report 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
shamedic Posted January 14, 2017 Report 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. Quote
Tony_Shrimpster Posted January 14, 2017 Report Posted January 14, 2017 Is that cryptocoryne flamingo? If so, I need some in my life lol. Quote
