Your mantis tank.

[NoobReefer2002]

I am looking for ideas on what size of a tank i need and also on what i need to keep up the tank. The tank will be built when i have the specs. If you have any pics of your tanks please shoot them my direction so i can get some ideas. Also what type of coral is safe to put with a mantis because i want more than just the lil bugger in there. Maybe a pair of them if i can find them paired.

Size depends entirely on the type of mantis you get. I set up a home-made 1/4" glass 6 gallon cube, and later added a 2 gallon sump. I lucked out and found a G. smithii just last week. The tank was running with just a clean-up crew for about three months...
