Hello all, well after seeing a Peacock Mantis at my LFS I decieded I have to have one :) I want to make sure I set the tank up right the first time so please read over my planned setup and give me ur advice

10g Acrylic Flat Back Hex - already purchased
4" DSB
10-15lbs live rock
50w Heater with heater gaurd
1 Powerhead (powersweep 214)

The biggest thing I am not sure about is the lighting. Do mantis shrimp not like strong lighting? I was thinking about purchasing the CSL 96w PC Smartlamp setup in case I ever convert this to a Nano-Reef. My other option is 1 or 2 32W CSL PC Smartlamp setup. Please let me know what yall think.

Thanks in advance
 
Your tank is a goog setup IMO except you might want some type of filtration like a hang on skimmer or even biowheel. Maybe you'll be fine without these though. The lighting doesn't really matter.
