we dont need any extra support its all done. we always start by changing all the water, agreed remove the shrimp it was feed and cycled tanks dont have to be fed they get their own feed from external and internal contaminations. after its filled with clean water, then you have a base filtration layer in place and no more bacteria doses are needed.
-helpful rule from updated cycling science: once set in place, a cycle cannot be starved out. Years unfed, the system still feeds in ways microorganisms have always done-daily incoming contaminations and the internal blooms that live and die because they landed in water, but werent reef adapted. temporarily-bloomed communities degrade specifically into carbon and trace ammonia and minerals in various stages, thats bacteria fuel and it happens over and over by the hour in any reef tank, post cycle.
