Tigahboy Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 I use tropic marin pro on all my tanks. haven't checked calcium lately. but last time i checked it was aroun 420 ppm. Link to comment
BelowH2O Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Awesome mantis, very psychedelic. Link to comment
ZooGirl Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Wow...he's beautiful AND scary. I'm really speechless about this tank. I bet it's so relaxing to watch. Like those boxed waves they used to sell at the wave pool when I was a kid, but better. It's going to be so cool when you get all your corals in....I can't wait! Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 thanks all. yes, no dosing whatsoever. I just spent the last 3 hours working on 43 seconds worth of video for this pico (full length will be 3+ minutes). hopefully y'all will like it cuz it's definitely getting the most TLC out of all the vids I've made so far.

icecreamman Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 where did you get your mantis from? Link to comment
Travis Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Very nice Tigah! This is the First Nano/Pico that I have seen that incorparates a CSD, Good Job! Link to comment
bbjwin1 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/release...21_shrimp.shtml chek out that link, kinda freaky and intresting (= Link to comment
Reefgeek Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 So after the contest is the mantis going in a bigger tank? Mine is about 3.5" right now and is already too big for a 2.5. Eventually that mantis will hit around 6" if memory serves. I'm jealous, mine is much less colorful than yours Link to comment
Nednai Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Tigahboy, how are you going to test if your pico design is an improvement over your other systems? Link to comment
uk reefer Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 wow i love your tank but the mantis is amazing Link to comment
proraptor Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I also want to know where you got such a colorful mantis tigah Link to comment
Cesar Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I had heard that Mantis carry quite a powerful punch. Is it like a lion fish punch? Link to comment
Cesar Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 3" Cesar - u gotta drop by and check out this bad mofo. haha. Hey dude can I go today and check it out? If I do can I pet it? Link to comment
Maxvan1 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I had heard that Mantis carry quite a powerful punch. Is it like a lion fish punch? No, they use there claw to hit things. I read it can be as powerful as a bullet (not sure I belive it, but I bet it would break your thumb, watched a video of one). Link to comment
beerz4us Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 my corals saw the video, flipped me off, and skipped town. expect them at your door. lol!!!! too funny tigah another spectacular setup great work just wondering do you keep a lid on the tank? that wouldnt happen to be the mantis that was just on atlantis's site for sale is it? they have a 15 inch zebra mantis that is so wild looking Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 naw. I got the mantis locally. no lid rite now. I might add a lid later. thanks for the compliments. Link to comment
reef n ale Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Wow Dennis, when you say you're gettin you're game face on, you ain't kiddin! Just beautiful! Rob BTW, I think I saw your Mantis at a Dead show once...ok, maybe more than once... Link to comment
neanderthalman Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Can we expect the video to include footage of feeding time? Those tail feathers look like they belong on some south american bird. Just wild. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Finally finished the vid! Here's my 2.5g Surge/Mantis Pico Vid. Hope y'all like it: 2.5g Mantis Pico (Right Click + Save Link As...) be sure to play the vid w/ sound cuz there's music in this one. =P Link to comment

ZooGirl Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 That's a great video Tigah! Well worth the wait. Scary mantis isn't shy at all, is he? Geez, so how often do you have to feed him? Oh and won't he bash that crab? Link to comment
Zapatista Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 FOR THE NEXT VIDEO...CAN YOU FILM YOURSELF CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE TANK WITH AN ACRYLIC PAD....THAT MAKE QUITE AN INTERESTING MOVIE....I DONT THINK THERE HAS EVER BEEN A MANTIS SHRIMP ATTACK ON REAL TV. .......YOU ARE A BRAVER MAN THAN I AM SLEEPING UNDER THE SAME ROOF AS THAT MONSTER.
