Bioload of inverts?
 

I've set up a little biocube (14g). I'd like to make it mainly an invert tank. I'm just wondering how much shrimps and such contribute to the bioload of a tank? I'd like to put as many different kinds in as I can but don't want to overstock.

Thanks for any info.

A few of the ornamental shrimp are territorial, so you may be limited in that respect. Inverts generally speaking dont add much at all to your bio load, compared to a fish anyway.

That's what I figured, thanks Doug. The inverts I want to add are...

Peppermint Shrimp
Fire Shrimp
Camel Shrimp
Small Reef Lobster
and some type of Urchin.

Thoughts anyone?

Looks like fun
 

Most echinoderms tend to be pretty docile (Urchins and Sea Stars) the only problem with urchins is with a smaller and newer tank they might have a limited food source (I know my urchin eats coraline all day long). Most of the shrimps will be fine together, I have heard of Fire/ Camel shrimp eating other shrimp but only in rare cases. I would say just watch out for coral banded and you should be good to go. Other than that what about a harlequin shrimp pair (Little harder for feeding but AMAZINGLY interesting) or a pistol shrimp/ goby? Either way sound like it should make a nice little species tank!

(Btw Mike shoot me a PM if your still interested in some zoa frags, I owe you a few but I'm sure there are some others that you wouldn't mind having!)
