What are the steps of what to put in under the soil when setting up a shrimp tank?

Thanks.

You need to lay some bactery starter and mineral, then lay shrimp specialize soil on top.
Unlike planted tank, fertelizer is not recomended in shrimp tank.
I hope that can help.

mosura and benibachi products have the same quality too me.. its how you used the product and how well you set up your tank.. cycling your tank is important..

What you should understand is the material in each of the product. Mosura or benibachi is just a brand.
Imho: the 3 most important substances for are bactery starter (for starting up the cycling process), mineral suplement (for adding suplement needed for the microorganism/bactery), and last but not least is the soil (to maintaince the ph and gh).

You can browse the e-store to check each brand, and find each of the product.
Imho: either mosura or benibachi is a good product. If you like Singapore local product, you can try borneowild.
