Hi

Personally I won't mess with CO2 tablets. Their release may not be cosistent and excessive CO2 is a well known cause of shrimp death. You may want to try Java Moss if you want fast growing moss.

I agree with cheetf. Minimum should be 3 weeks cycling when it comes to shrimp.

However if your lfs shrimp order cannot be delayed you may want to consider buying commercially available Beneficial Bacteria or BB.

Cheers

nie setup bro wait for yr tank to cycle 1st before introdunig the shrimps man,i lost 1 batch when i 1st started cos i cant wait to put them in haha i learned my lesson

wat is this device in the 2rd photo and the 3th one.. why do u put heater in for tank.. ?? Dun tell me you not from SG?

Stated from Melbourne bro

hehe missied.. welcome to shrimp keeping

lol
same with cheef and aria bro cycle longer if needed dun waste unecessary money on shrimp by "not cycling properly"

dont dose co2 tablets in shrimp tank ... its just plain unsafe ... just get those normal canister co2 tanks ....

Just to add, u may wanna buy some test kits for PH, Nitrate. Will really aid in knowing when to intro your CRS.

I like your setup! maybe a little more moss for your shrimps, but other than that, nice tank! 10 days may not be enough for your tank to be cycled though, so something to bear in mind..
