cycling ?

[Birdow]

started cycling with shrimp yesterday how long does the water stay cloudy .when should I c ammonia levels?

 

[Gti_Leo]

it will stay cloudy for a while and have an aweful stink when there is ammonia. i could take about a week to see any sort of ammonia so be patiant and let nature do its work

maybe i just got lucky but i saw ammonia after like 2-3 days but that could have just been the die off from the lr
