Got live sand and cured live rock in my 10 gallon.
There was no sign of a cycle starting on its own so last night I threw in a little piece of raw shrimp to speed things up.
This morning I tested my Ammonia it measured 0.5 ppm.
My questions are... should I take the shrimp out?
Or let the Ammonia rise more before removing it? Or just leave the shrimp till it disappears on its own?
Is there a specific amount of ammonia I need in my tank?
Sorry if these questions were already answered in another thread. I'm new here and new to saltwater.
I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right. :)
