Mitchell's Mantis Tank

[Mitchell]

Here are the details on the Mantis Tank build

Tank-Acrylic. Built by Tony (Limey). The dimensions are going to be roughly 18x18x18 with hopefully a black back wall and a custom starfire acrylic front....hahaha just joking...no starfire...
Braced on top.

Filtration- unknown at this point. Maybe an aquaclear hang on or a canister filter.

Lighting-1 Maxispect 60 watt LED fixture

Water movement- 1 powerhead.

Heat-Titanium - no glass for him/her to play with

Substrate-a semi deep sand bed. Carrib sea live sand.

Rock-a mix of Bali and Tonga Branch

His home-hopefully he/she enjoys this ceramic home I got. The plan is to bury it as much as possible and then glue zoos or GSP's on it and let them grow.
