Question Another cycling question

My 50 gallon has been cycling 9 days. When I went in to feed my wet pets in the soon to be qt, I noticed one of the shrimp had molted. Should I drop the skin into the 50 gallon to help the cycling? Thanks

You could, although I would not expect to see any changes as a result, there isnt much to the molts.

+1. It's not really going to affect anything, especially in a tank that size.
