Bare Bottom + High Flow = Shrimp?


Just wondering if anyone with a high low rate and bare bottom keep shrimp in your tank? I have three fire shrimp in my current tank that I would like to move over to the the new tank but I am curious if they will get blown around. I am looking at 50x + turnover which will be SPS dominant.

Thanks!

I got a couple in my tank, cleaner and some peppermints. They do fine, they find a nice place in the rock during the day and don't seem to have any problems scavenging at night.

Yeah, same goes here, I have about 45x turn over and 2 skunk cleaners, they have been in the tank for 2.5 months and growing through their first molt.

I believe it will work, but I only had about 40x in my tank and i tried shrimp twice and they just got blasted all over the tank and died within a day.

There are terrible temptations which it requires strength and courage to yield to.
