bojyeo Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Dear All Bros, Does a hyposalinity tank at 1.010 kill the Harlequin Shrimps and star fishes? Thinking of converting to a hypo FOWLR and rearing angels and tangs together.......but not selling away my harlequin shrimps.........

SRC Member lcf425 Posted October 13, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted October 13, 2011 hypo will kill your shrimp for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member mopiko Posted October 13, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hpo will kill everything that have no "back bones" eg. sea cucumber, worms, start fish, shrimps. Hpo definitely work to keep white spots in control but long term is not good for the fish. skimmer will not function optimally as well.
