This is not the proper test you need for cycling. This strips aren’t accurate and also don’t test your ammonia. You need the api freshwater test master kit
When beginning a cycle the most important thing to monitor is ammonia. The brand Tetra makes strips for those otherwise there’s a lot of liquid tests too
If you add shrimp immediately after cycling you’re gonna have a bad time. You want a fully established(as in cycled for months) tank before trying to shrimp it, in my experience anyways.
