im still workin on my tank. The cycle is complete and my new 24" Coralife Lunar Aqualight Delux should be at my house any minute now. Then im gunna clean and add some base rock to the LR thats in there. Once thats finished ill add some coral, then the shrimp. If I can get my camera towork ill post a pic after I get the light on it
i just set mine up today. my mantis was an unexpected guest.
im not sure im going to keep him, but i fashioned a make shift home until i decide.
i used a piece of 1/4 tubing (keep in mind this is a temp. home) to syphen water into the 2.5g from my display.
i drilled a hole in the side of the 2.5g and added a couple standard fittings.
water constantly syphen's from my display to the 2.5 and overflow's to the sump.
in the event of a power outage, the syphen will stop, but i'll have to manually restart it. for this reason i've added a red sea nano filter to circulate water in the 2.5. 1 27watt 6500k bulb completed the set up
low tech as it gets
if i decide to keep him, i'll add a wier type overflow so i dont have to worry about starting the syphen in the event of an power outage.
having no experiance with the mantis shrimp, i'm hoping this will be a good home. open to suggestions to make my mantis happier though
guess which rock he's hiding under??????
