Hi there,
I'm just about to set up a new shrimp tank after a long break (nearly 4 years) due to a very hot summer wiping out all my cbs and OE black tigers
Anyway I decided to go with a fluval spec 3, it has around 13 litres including the back compartment, I'm using RO/DI water with salty shrimp gh+ And I just wanted some advice on how to start up my fishless cycle, I know some people use ammonia but is there any other way, as my husband keeps moaning about how much money I'm spending on this little tank
Edit: I've persuaded him to get me a few more bits, just ordered some ammonia suitable for cycling, a new test kit and some bt-9.
So how does this ammonia fish less cycle work?
And does bt-9 speed up the process?
Thanks
