substrate

[Clownfishboy]

I'm new to this site. I found it when I was reasearching info for my mantis tank. I'm in the process of setting it up and I couldn't find any information on substrate in a mantis tank. Should I use a fine grade of sand or a more coarse sand?

let me add to that. I do not know what kind of Matis I will be getting so is there a general grade of sand that most mantis shrimp like?

aragonite, and some LR rubble would be nice

they love the rubble, when i had mine, they would excavate all the time and build small barracades and walls with the rubble. they'll even bash the pieces to pleasing sizes too.
