The Shrimp comes out only at night. Hope it is a cleaner shrimp. Will add 2 more of them tomorrow. Order given to supplier.
Alkalinity and Calcium are in a good range. Where is your pH?

The idea of an internet forum is to ask questions BEFORE adding these things to your tank. You always seem to take action, then ask us about it. It is going to get difficult for people to take you seriously if you don't ask questions before taking action.

I would worry more about correcting your pH problem than adding inhabitants to your tank. If your pH is reallly off as you test it to be, then that shrimp will not last long. They are incredibly pH sensitive creatures.

Yeah, and get a different pH test. I would like to see if it tests different than your current test.

No. You should create an environment which encourages coraline growth, and have a CUC to assist with the routine remove of algae from rock.

Currently you need to increase your calcium levels. Alkalinity & calcium as the key to encouraging coraline growth.
