Shrimps eat algae, but not all type. It is quite unsightly when algae to grow.

ok.... Will take note of that too. And let say I have set the tank up with water and stuffs. How long do I know that it's time to put in the shrimps?

let the tank cycle for a month or so. (to be safe, as CRS are very sensitive shrimps)

bro,yup.. it takes some time.. but with this,the death rate of newly introduced CRS will be lesser.. a rule of thumb.. check your water parameter,before adding the shrimps..

Becos I'm still not very sure with what kinda gravel to use. I know ADA add one thin layer on top of the other one should do but what other gravel to use at the bottom still pretty unsure.
