how many lbs of sand do you have in teh tank?

I'm not sure. I used some sand from an old setup. It is 2" deep all over though. Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer.

 

looks nice cliff

Thanks Travis. I have 18 new frags in now. I will have to arrange and glue them tomorrow. I will try to get pics then or on Monday :)

league's lookin good.

 

has he/she smashed up any corals or mushies yet?

im worried about the thought of putting nice zoo's in the tank and having them used as a punching bag.

Doesn't bother any corals other than walking across them. The only thing he has smashed is an astrea I put in for him. Don't worry about your corals, they'll be fine :)

Your tank looks sweet! Reminds me a lot of my old 2.5g mantis playground.

 

Oh Cliffy, if you decide to treat this tank with FWE too I would remove the mantis. When I treated my 2.5 mantis tank with FWE, I netted out my mantis and put him in a plastic cup while I treated the tank and did the waterchange. I have heard that they can tolerate FWE, but I was scared to take the chance.

I really like your tank. Your mantis is sweet looking. I keep a turbo snail with him and he doesn't even look at it. I feed mine about once a week with a freshwater red claw crab and I also feed him some krill once or twice a week. I have never had a problem with him hitting the glass.

 

Here is a couple pics of my Mantis.

No, I put them in the 33g to multiply :D

 

Well, you filled this one up quick Cliff!

 

League is quite the handsome fellow.

 

Looks great B)

Thanks NRF. I took some out for my son's new tank.

Thanks! That's good to know. How about molting? Any issues? How often? League is a real character. Your mantis is awesome, btw :happy:

Thanks Travis. I'm about to do a water change. Diatoms have disappeared for the most part. Got a little cyano on the filter intake. Copepods out the ying yang.
