| Re: Shrimp Nitrate Tolerance
In the research I have done I have found that shrimp, and most inverts can handle nitrates up to about 35ppm. Then it starts to get touchy. At 40, some feather dusters will lose their crowns. They arent' shrimp but you get the picture. At 10 you are fine. I wouldn't worry at 20 even. At 30 you may want to take steps to lower it.
