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

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..
