[GSAS-Member] Shrimp and CO2

["Phil Lacefield Jr." <phil@lacefield.com>]

Hey gang, at the massive Blue SIerra sale this weekend (and wow, what
deals!!), I picked up an old open-topped display tank they had set up in the
store at one point.  It's an Azoo Garden Aquarium, notch-front so that you
can load it with plants I guess.  Anyway, I set it up and transferred most
of the cherry shrimp I got from Susan a couple weks ago, and they seem to be
loving it.

My quession is: if I set up CO2 in this tank to help the plants, will it
hurt the shrimp?  The tank setup came with a Nutrafin Natural Plant System
C)2 canister, which calls for adding sugar and their "special packets" of
activator and stabilizor.  I assume this is something someone can tell me
how to make on my own without their "special packets"  :-)  But I've never
used a CO2 system before, so I'm totally unsure how to se thte thing or if I
should at all, what with the shrimp.

Ideas?

Thanks! - Phil
