Should i buy instant ocean reef accelarator?

another few questions,I started cycling my tank about a week ago, and I was wondering if once i get the shrimp (In a few weeks), what household things i could feed them? can they eat rice? Also, to speed up cycling, would dropping in something speed it up? like a grain of rice or a small peice of an ...

I don't know what to say about your brown sand, but if I had to guess it could be from having nobody to clean out the algae in the sand (Snails).
The Macro algae grows pretty fast, but the algae moss balls are a lot slower at reproducing (Splitting).
(Keep in mind I have no experience with any of ...

Thank You!
Would I put in the "Supershrimp macroalgae" before my tank has cycles to help it cycle? or would it grow out of control?

Hey guys!
A few questions,
1:How far into the process of the tank cycling would i add in the snails? or just at the same time as shrimp?
2:How often and how much do the snails reproduce in a good tank? would I have to worry about them overpopulating, eating alot of algae, and leaving none for the ...

Alright, Thanks guys!

I found some old seashells in my room, they are at least 5 years old. Could i use them if I boil them? Also, can I use other containers as decor? as hiding spots?(Like a shot glass, or other mini cup)
Do the shrimp care if their hiding pots are see through? or as long as they have a hiding spot its ...
