1. Mustafa recommends waiting until the new tank has started growing algae before adding shrimp. But given there is already algae in the ecosphere water you are adding, and there is only one shrimp right now, that may not be necessary. I'm not sure myself.SuperProofer wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2017 4:23 pmAnother question: Once I mix their brackish water, do I have to let it sit for any amount of time before I add it to the tank, or can I just put it right in? Also, since I need such a small quantity, if I mix a 1/2 gallon worth (following the instructions from Mustafa's link), can I just pour only as much as I need for the jar or should I only make enough for the jar to begin with? (does that make sense??)
Thanks for all the help so far!
2. Provided all the salt dissolves then you should be able to pour as much as you need from any given amount of mixed water. You could try making only enough water for the jar, but I think it would be more difficult.
