Sure do, it's a 21 gallons and it's up permanently. It has liverock and macro algae in it but no fish.

Damn..I just got a small mantis shrimp baby on some piece of liverock with zoa...I have put it in there and hope it will survive. It's only about one inch for now so that quarantine will be a temporary home for the mantis if it does survive.

Never thought of that haha, good Idea

Isn't that a refuge then? HEHE.

What ever you wish to call it. This is where my fish go until the pass the check up time and if I need to treat, I remove the plants and leave only the liverock. so far I never had to treat with copper, so I was lucky. I treated with hyposalinity, Paraguard and prazipro so no need to remove the liverock and no ammonia what so ever.

It is even nice for the fish with hiding places.

Mind if I ask what happened?

I'm trying to justify getting one but I'd probably just turn it into another display. haha
