Tank that size as @M. Tournesolhas said, peacock would be better. 

 

Bare minimum, heater, water movement, lights and rocks and sand. 

 

I'm not convinced on the PVC tunnels, mine ignores all my attempts at introducing any to her tank, you may find different though.

 

 

Ok makes sense, I also just kinda want a larger tank I don’t plan on keeping much coral maybe some soft and macro algae

Do you think buying lots of live rock would be a viable way to get a mantis shrimp instead of paying 100 for a mantis and additional for the dry rock

I have pay 245€ for 7kg of live rock and got a mantis and a pest crab by "chance". My rock was very fresh and coming from indo.

In my second nano, I bought 5kg of indo rock that was in-store for months (at 130€). No bonus crustacea this time...

 

If you're not very lucky, directly buying you mantis shrimp will be cheaper.
