so i decided to make a mantis tank with other unwanted predators,

started with a 10g tank, ive got a 178 skimmer attacked to it for a ton of flow, so far inside theres 2 big gorilla crabs, (1.5" little one and 2" big one) i got some shots of the crabs,
mantis is being brought down to calgary this weekend via a canreef friend so ill get seom pics of it when it arrives

there a 20lbs bag of live sand, and about 10lbs of live rock, a large macro plant (dont know the name) bout 2lbs of crushed white coral pieces for looks.....

n e ways heres the pics

there in the order from when the tank started to the final,

Ive im the process of transfering into a 29g Biocube and building a custom rock/foam rock wall see final pages
oh, some of my close ups suck if u got advise on how to take pics id love to hear it

You can upload your pics to sites like photobucket.com and then attach the links they provide for the forum.
Interesting concept...I'll tag along

Maybe someday i'll catch the nasty crab that's in my tank...and you'll have yet another crab.

all I know is he's White and fast! I affectionately call him, 'my little buddy', but really, i don't want him in there.

easiest way to catch himm depending on size, take a shot glass, put his favotrite food in it and sink it inot the sand, he'll go in but cant swing and therfore cant get out
