Had I known that it would be easy to crawl around on top of my acrylic tank, I would have built a 6 x 6 instead of a 6 x 4. On a tank this size I never considered glass for a moment.

Majestic Angel

I've always wanted one of these. So far, he's taken a bit of abuse from the Achillies Tang and the Bicolour Angel. I've seen worse though, so I hope he'll make it....

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by "FW" eel. To me, FW means fresh water...That might be why you aren't getting an answer yet.

If it is NOT faked...and somebody thinks it looks fake...is that a compliment? Has the aquarist in question produced something that looks unreal?

Depends entirely on what type of mantis shrimp you are looking to keep. I kept a Wennarae (sp?) in a 5 gallon tank for many years, but they don't get larger than 2" or so.

Unless your Ca is running really high, I think you need to increase the output of your reactor a bit. Low Alk allows for a larger daily pH swing. (Isn't the definition of Alkalinity the resistance...
