Invert only tank.

Has anyone ever had an invert only tank? Snails, crabs, shrimp and so on. If so, can you give me some insight on parameters, care, feeding, etc? Thanks

Very simple tank, had a 30 long for years, coral bandit, arrow crab, porcelain crab and a few peppermint shrimp. Keep your nitrates under 10, hand feed most of the time with stick pieces of silver sides, squid and when I was lazy I just squirted some mysis into tank and let them fend for themselves. Feed every three days, a little more for the coral bandit and arrow to keep them from fighting.

Invert tanks can be really cool. I'd first invest in a good marine invertebrate book, and going through it to see what you like the best.

Look into mantis shrimp... they are SO COOL! (their vision can see 1600+ more colors than what the human eye can. :D
