Is this a water conditioner?

Yes and no. It doesn’t have dechlorination abilities. But it does provide essential trace minerals to aquarium water. If you use distilled or RO water in your tanks, there tends to be a lack of minerals that your fish/shrimp need. This helps provide it. I use this with water changes or adding water due to evaporation. Also a must to a start up tank.

How long should i remove the carbon filtration?

Hi there! We recommend between 24-48 hours.

I have a newly cycled nano tank. Would it be ok to leave my filter in so I don’t lose my cycling.

Is you carbon connected to the rest of your filter media? If so then if you leave the carbon in it will remove any “meds” or additive you introduce. It’s better to leave the carbon out for about 24-48 hours while dosing. If you keep your filter media wet in a bowl or bucket then it will not loose the BBA. Also you can keep your filter running. Just remove the carbon if you have any.

Is this all needed to make ro/di water for shrimp? or are other minerals and additives needed?

Hi there! Yes, this should be all you'll need to simulate RO water.
