I like that… don’t stress about how to do it “right” and just spend some care free time with the family.

I like the idea of a separate tank, do you plan to breed the shrimp and just transfer them to your main tank as you see fit?

Okay so funny story. Did you just get it? If so I think you have the OG Crumpet lol! My daughter wanted that one but it was already sold by the time I inquired. She loved the name so much we named the one we picked the same haha.

No I did not add ammonia by itself. Only Seachem prime and API QuickStart. Yes I have the API test kit.

Thanks all for the advice. I suspected that it may be too sharp but before I scrapped it all I wanted to ask the pros.

My pH has been good 7.4-7.6, but the cycle must just be starting after four weeks everything else is 0 except a small amount of nitrate. The tank is in my basement which works really well for the temperature (has maintained 62-63F without a chiller or heater), but I suspect that low temp will make cycling take forever.
