Hey everyone, so this is not exactly my first time setting up a saltwater tank. But ive never tried cycling with shrimp, so ive decided to do it with my new tank. It is 210 gallons, and ive put in 2 chopped up table shrimp (in a filter bag) in the sump. And ive been letting it rot in there for almost a week now. It doesn't smell at all. ive checked for ammonia, it started at 0, then 2 days ago it was 0.20 then dropped back to 0 yesterday. I used dead rock, sand, and sea water (its hard getting bucket salt here so its really expensive, i will be doing water changes with the aquaforest salt though). Should i throw this shrimp and add a new one or do i leave it like this?
