I've been reading and some people are saying use ammonia and others saying raw shrimp.. I have a dash of ammonia, mixed with about 15 gallons of used water in my 40gal breeder with 29gal sump, think that will kick off the cycle? Or maybe too much? About 40lbs of "live" sand 40lbs dry, 50lbs of rock that was cycling in my old tank but it broke while the diatoms were in kick.
Is this a fine way to have the shrimp? I've heard they disintegrate and don't want to have to worry too much about chasing shrimp chunk around my tank in a few weeks.
