Start of new mantis tank

[Gatorfan]

Hello everyone, I just wanted to post a picture of my newly set-up mantis tank. The tank used to house my nano-reef, which was upgraded to a 10g. The mantis is a ~3/4" N. wennerae that came on a piece of rock from TBS.

Here's the little guy's temporary home, until the 5.5g was ready.

And here's the 5.5g. I'm still going to add a few more pounds of live rock and probably a few softies.

Gatorfan - As a football conference mate (for now at least), I've always wanted to know.........

Why is it call The University of SOUTH Florida?


PS - Good luck in the Big East, and put in a good word for us!


Sorry for the off topic post.

Heh, yeah, but it's not hurting anything in this tank.

Taketz, UCF I assume? We'll see about that when we start playing you guys in a couple years.

Thanks ecugman, no idea why it wasn't called central florida... UCF was built 10 years after us... I look foreward to us playing you guys at home this year, the last two were up there.

Good luck to you guys I can't wait until our opening game against Pitt.

And, to keep this on subject, I brought a rock from my 20g at home to add to the tank. The 20 has had an algae problem for a while and I'm hoping it won't continue in this tank, but if it does, oh well... I also moved my yellow polyps(at the top of the right rock) and a little piece of GSP(near the bottom of the same rock) into this tank.

Here's a full tank pic.
