yup, thats because i mainly used biohome as media, and those were matured biohome. lots of BB there, thus reducing cycling period..
pH stable at 6.4 - 6.5. daily dosing of MOSURA bioplus and tonic.. 5 sakuras were in from day 5.. till today still doing well.. the crs is eating now. tank is ready for shrimps already.

Eventually you keep CRS. I thought it is recommended to dose MOSURA bioplus on alternate days. It is acting as a food source, too.

i believe they won't thrive in a shrimp tank, they are nitrate suckers.. without high nitrate they will melt off.. and mine is melting pretty badly, so decided to remove.
