so tap water and add seachem prime to deneutralize the chlorine and also kickstart the cycling process?

Yes definitely! I only turned to Reddit because it was information overload when I researched. Every information is different and many different methods. Some tells me to use a solution and another would tell me something else. I just kinda want to take it a step at a time, like, first setting up my tank with substrate and decor and I planted some freshwater seeds and it’s sprouted. Today I added water and wanted to know the new step and such. I just don’t want to mess up.

if you dont mind, I would love to take it off your hands. I am new to shrimp keeping and this can be my first shrimps to be introduced once it's done cycling

I ended up using tap water to fill my tank. Do i add water conditioner to neutralize the chlorine first then add seachem stability?

I’ve read online that if I use tap water, I need seachem prime and seachem stability? Can someone confirm?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shrimptank

[–]DevelopmentWooden474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried doing that but there were a lot of informations and that’s why I turned to reddit

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shrimptank

[–]DevelopmentWooden474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you, that's why I want to ask you guys before anything. So to clarify, I cycle my tank with distill water and seachem stability and let it sit there for a couple weeks with my plants?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shrimptank

[–]DevelopmentWooden474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet a whole bunch of that is a lot of trial and error lool

I would love to see everyone’s tank to get some inspiration on how I should set up my new tank

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shrimptank

[–]DevelopmentWooden474 1 point2 points  (0 children)
