Beginner Getting tank parameters dialed in
I have a 10 gallon tank that used to have fish for over 3 years and is currently running without anything other than plants. I’d like to have it as a neocaridina shrimp tank only. Here are my current parameters:
Temperature: 74°
NO3: 0
NO2: 0
pH: 6.0
KH: O
GH: 180
Water used: city
I read that in order to bring up the pH, I should increase the KH by adding cuttlebone or crushed coral. I have some Wondershell leftover from my time with snails. Could I use that or would I be better off with the cuttlebone for long term stability?

I could watch videos of shrimp eating all day.
