Will salinity of 1.022 likely kill shrimp?

[salty joe]

I'm looking to get a few fish and expect the salinity to be about 1.018. To ease the transition, I want to temporarily lower the salinity of my display to about 1.022.
My main concern is my cleaner shrimp and a couple Randall's shrimp. I also would hate to wipe out all the little bugs.

I would not swing the entire tank to acclimate a few fish. If QT tank is not an option I would just acclimate them over an hour or two in a bucket.

I hear you, thanks. But I do plan to lower the salinity of the display, if only a little. Maybe to 1.023.

If you’re not keeping corals or anything that will be fine. Just start dipping out a little water each day and let ATO top up, or if you do water changes just start diluting them a little.

1.023 I kept at that for years and years. That will be fine gives you a bit each way .

I’ve inadvertently gotten salinity as low as 1.014 with ATO malfunction. Everything will be totally fine.
