If you pour soil in while the shrimps are still in tank, they are gonna uplorry.
It causes ammonia spike.

If you tank is still new without any shrimps, then add. if there are shrimps inside and you need to lower the ph, add peat into ur canister.

no shrimps inside yet.. so it is still ok to add in?

Not only shrimp I should say, even fishes should be taken out. Than you add in the soil and make sure you cycle it properly before adding any life stuff.
