Looks awesome! Got any pics of the mantis? I would love to do a mantis tank. They do alright with corals?

oh yea. if you look at my sig, youll notice i have fish too.

my g.smithii is a smasher so he leaves things in the water colomn alone.

coral and stuff is fine, some bigger species may "re-aquascape" your tank, but other than that the leave the corals alone !!





camera phone has its limitations

Yeah, I've done a little research about them. so the smasher type will leave fish alone for the most part? What about shrimp? and what do you feed it? Is it possible to just collect snails like periwinkles from the beach and feed them? and how does it not kill the emerald crab?

oh yea, the emerald crab population fluctuates, and i have lost pip:(

but kyle seems a lil bit more keen, and doesnt hang around the rock work.

wow bob, amazing tank. As you know.. i am working on a 10 gallon mantis reef, myself.

So with a Wennera you think i would be ok with maybe a firefish or something in there?

Just a thought... love your zoos in pic one. Chance of frag? LOL
