I like how natural it looks with all the macro etc. If I was a mantis I would be stoked. Good job.

looks like a mantis playground to me, i was looking at the hole placement for the return pump. i would be concerned, that is really low and if your return pump shuts off it is going to dump a lot of water down into the sump. just make sure your sump can handle the extra water in case of a power failure.

No worries as the sump is huge. I already tested it for a power outage
. I will definitely put it higher next time though. That's how this hobby is, live and learn! :idea:

It looks bloody sweet
Thanks mantis, your encouraging words have helped through this whole build. On another note I asked my lfs about ordering a peacock and he said that it's damn near impossible for them to get an exact species. Ill be looking around other places as well.

Glad to hear and your posting this thread has helped me in return. I been hesitant to drill a hole in any tank. After seeing the pictures and you getting it from Glass-Holes. Finally got me to order from there and try it my self, which, i had successfully drilled a hole! So, thanks much! I'd say order from Liveaquaria.com in the Diver's Den. I'm seeing them popping up more often. or try ThatFishPlace.com...other wise i would have said get it from Billy but as sad it is Stomatopods.com is gone...as far was we can tell.

I tell everyone drilling is SO easy, don't be afraid! It just takes a lot of time and patience and a good drill with the right settings doesn't hurt. Anyways I checked out thatfishplace and all they currently offer right now is "
various sp. "Mantis Shrimp"" which isn't assuring at all. I am on the LA mailing list so hopefully something will pop up soon :spin3:

FWIW, a friend of a friend was heading to TFP today, I had her check out the mantises in stock. Apaprently they only now have one left, and she said she's pretty sure its not a peacock. I have a really poor cell phone pic, but it kind of just looks like a turd under a rock, not really good enough quality to make an ID.

Thanks sploke, I'm just gonna wait till I can find one that I know is 100% a peacock
