Hi All,

I am currently cycling a new Shrimp tank with one of the guides from this forum. However i have a lingering question on my mind. With most Shrimp soil pulling the pH of the water down to 5-6 initially, how do this low pH actually facilitate the cycle?

To my best knowledge from keeping monster fish and Goldfish tanks, having a low pH while in the cycle actually impede the process. The low pH could render the BBs dormant and halt the cycle.

So how do the cycling of Shrimp setup actually works?

Thanks!
