Biocube29 from mantis tank to Clown heaven
 

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 :)

k

oh and if your in calgary and u end up getting bad HH so any type of crab let me know ill gladly drive out and grab it instead of u killing 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 :)......
