Ok here's the deal. My new 180 gallon has been cycling for about 4 days with 4 cocktail shrimp, 6 big pieces of cured live rock, 40 pounds of live sand and some crushed coral. My ammonia started out at 0.0 and after only 4 days the ammonia is at about 0.8 The rotting smell of the shrimp has been so bad that I literaly have to leave my house because it gets me very nauziated and makes me feel like vomiting. My question is, can I take these shrimp out yet being that the ammonia is at .8 ? My concern is that it has only been cycling for 4 days
