Water Flow
Most inverts do not require specific water flow levels.

Tank Placement

Most inverts are placed on the bottom of the aquarium and will travel throughout your reef.

Most inverts are quite forgiving of water quality. It is recommend that all inverts be kept at natural saltwater parameters.

Inverts need to have a proper acclimation, specifically drip acclimation. Most inverts are very sensitive to changes in salinity and other water parameters and must be slowly acclimated to a new system.
