IT doesnt really matter-It will disintigrate or decompose as your tank cycles. Once it starts to get yucky, you can remove itif you want to, but it is there to be a catalyst for bacteria growth, so it is fine to leave it for cycling. The cycling process will take several weeks and once you have completed a cycle, trust me, the shrimp will be long gone!

The shrimp has been in for two days and the tank has become cloudy, not unlike when I had just put in the water, salt and sand before the filters got going. Is this to be expected and what other visual signs should I be looking for or concerned about? Thanks.
