Mines 4weeks now just waiting for the ammonia to clear up. Will it really clear up? Mines yellow but cloudy or milky. Will it be clear?

This will give your tank time grow some algae and eat up the nutrients. This should stop a full blown bloom like I had. (I didn't know this) give a few more weeks to balance out and add CUC.

The pic of the test you had looked to be zero across the board to me, and you said there wasn't much left of the shrimp. You may be further along then you think. Give it about another week and test a few times between now and then to make sure there are no spikes.
