Will shrimp get caught up in this circulation pump?

No because the flow will be strong enough to repel the shrimp away. Still I would place the pump as high as possible ( as they should be placed) for optimal flow. Also this prevents shrimps from swimming up from the sides and landing on the pump.

If you're asking if shrimp such as fire shrimp, skunk cleaner shrimp, coral banded, and the list goes on...even a shrimp as small as a sexy shrimp will NOT get 'caught up' in them. If you are referring to frozen brine and mysis shrimp, sometimes some of it passes through.Hope that helps

I have a coral banded shrimp for 6 months now and haven't had a problem yet with it.

When I got started with the Dork product without a circulator I got reasonable results but had a problems with larger pieces of meat. As i mentioned in a past I introduced a small aquarium pump with a aerator stone that did the trick. Sounds a bit strange but got the idea from past posting. Not as effective as a true circulator but a step in the right direction. The pump and stone is very cheap and can be bought at any Walmart. Good Luck

Being below would make the siphon not work too well when you're setting it up, but it won't affect the pump.

The answer is no, not least not in my experience. I had about 8-10 cherry shrimp in tank. After I start using ParaGuard 5 of them have died.

The pump is in a separate compartment and I have noticed a few pieces of food that have gotten in that area, but nothing has clogged it up. Toys are definitely not small enough to get in there.

The pump, in mine at least, seems to suck up most of it, while the snail does the rest. If you use the Tidy Tank once a month, it dissolves it and it just feeds the plants.

Doubtful, your filtration will probably gather them all up before the had a chance to hatch. Also not sure if the salinity matches from your tank and what they hatch in.

I wouldn't think so. I'm using this pump to circulate a 25,000 gallon pool. I don't know anything about aquariums but I would think this would be way too much pump.

No it doesn't. If something gets into the water with the pump, it ends up in my tank.

not really, it will pickup debris ( hair, leaves etc. from the bottom) you usually will need a sand and dirt filter pump for that, or keep cleaning and refilling the pool when too much sand and dirt accumulates in the bottom.

Yes if your tank is not already cycled it wont have the beneficial bacteria necessary to handle the bio-load in the "live" sand.

Water pours into the slits of the body when it is submersed in water then comes out the wand. The wand can be adjusted for flow strength, but must be periodically cleaned, or muck will block the water flow. If you have shrimp this is cheap and fine, but can be noisy. Hope this helps.

Yes. it will take a minute or two to pump up from minimum pressure, but it should be no problem.

Hard to answer... size of shrimp...aeration volume, etc.... I might suggest running it by your nearest "bait & tackle" shop and asking them. Hope this helped.

Probably depends on the size of the tank it was running. I bought a new pump, u can get them dirt cheap on Amazon.

no but you can tie it in to any other pump you may have running in your aquarium by installing a tee in the existing line and feeding the reactor. it comes with a valve to adjust the flow rate.

No. Any regular pump will work. I have several small aquarium pumps for my tomato buckets
