leave a shrimp to rot to start the cycle. for the algae, depends on what type of algae you're talking about

Gamit ka ng hipon sa palengke or grocery store. Yung patay okay lang. Just leave it there to initiate the cycle. Pag medyo nabubulok na yung shrimp pwede mo tanggalin tapos palitan mo ulit.

Prepare ka na din ng test kits para malaman mo yung progress mo sa cycle.

Pwede din bili ka ng ammonia, yung di scented. Meron ata sa nga drugstores. Add drops sa tank para mainitiate din cycle.

Initially you'll see diatoms, green hair algae and cyano. Kusa silang mawawala habang nagproprogress ang cycle pero kung wala ng nitrite and ammonia pwede ka mag add ng CUC like snails, hermit crabs, shrimps and other inverts.

Kung may nakita kang apitasia, bryopsis and bubble algae better iremove agad kasi pest yun. Ingat din sa carti may binebenta silang aiptasia as glass anemones and majano anemones binebenta nila.
