Step 4: watch the shrimp die because you never cycle the tank?

Stop giving out irresponsible advise like this.

Agreed with you.

Each shrimp has its own requirement. So the earlier recommendations by Shrimptastic were not so correct.

I don't think the soil is suitable. IMO, it is meant for plant use. It may contains copper too which is dangerous for faunas.

my tank is placed in a cool room, so water temp is constantly cool. so i "saved the money for chiller"

keep the comments coming in, be it +/- .. i wish to learn..
cheers !!
Not a good idea for using base fert, soon the fert will leak into water column, if the fert is too high, it will affect certain species or all species of shrimps. And also, there is a chance that even if the shrimps are not affected but fert in water column can caused algae problem.

Try using direct tap water and you let me know whether cherrie shrimps are hardy or not.
