Dose another shrimp?

[Antec]

I'm in day 10 of my cycle and my parameters are:

Ph-8.0
Ammonia-0ppm
Nitrite-.4-.5ppm
Nitrate-<100ppm

My question is, the shrimp that I had put in day 1 has pretty much dissolved and I've had the same amount of trites for about 4 days. Should I put in a new shrimp to keep dosing ammonia?
Keep in mind that I have 105lbs of LR in a 90g

You're already done with the ammonia into nitrite cycle so there's not really a need to. You could if you wanted though.

Can you verify that nitrate reading? I think the <100ppm is a typo?

Use TLC Start Smart. Your tank will be fully cycled in 24 hours. Period.

No, no typo. The salifert only goes to 100ppm but the liquid in the test tube looks like an even a deeper red than what on the ppm chart. Just slightly though.

Why did you think typo?

 

[Ingy]

You did say "less than" 100 based in the sign.

 

[Antec]

Oh lol, my bad. Greater than 100ppm

I'd do a 50% + water change now. You're not cycled yet, but very high nitrates can stall your cycle as it kills the BB.

Ok thanks Rick
