    Ok, now I get your plan. A simple table shrimp coupled with some previously establish liverock would be great.... adding the damsel is not necessary. You wanna protect this investment the best you can.... using the damsel is putting yourself at a disadvantage. Think of the time and money going into this project.... do you want to start off at a disadvantage?

    Maybe you could transport them to someone elses house (not ideal but possible)

    or bring them around your house more often so your mom could become comfortable with them

    Go with more flow than that and just have low flow areas. We've kind of done away with the super low flow recommendations.
