Hey guys,
My fish broodstock system is about happning. Its all starting to come together, just a thought....

i am wondering if i should add my shrimp broodstock tanks to the system? Will these inverts tolerate the water conditions as the fish will?

Thanks
Mark

Sure,with one caveat:never conduct a massive water change of 20% or more of new ASW.

Thanks Luis,
i am aware that the inverts are a little sensitive to new salt water. This the only drawback?

If i get as good as you guys at this then the shrimps would probebly be moved to a seperate smaller system as i exspand. At the moment though i could do with using what little space i have better and having one filtration system.

Thanks for the help guys
