    Has my cycle stalled?

    Sounds like your cycle is complete. I used safestart once to kick start a cycle, I wasn't sure if it kicked it or not. The cycle was finished after the next day or two but was nearly finished anyway, I thought I'd try anything to get over the last bit! :thumbup:

    PH and KH problems

    I'm not 100% on water parameters, but shrimps can hide if you change the environment. Some shops treat plants with copper to kill inverts and so your shrimps could of had problems with that.
