Mitchell's Mantis Tank
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 IHI_6903 by in his image, on Flickr 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. IHI_6910 by in his image, on Flickr The Saturday morning tank build. I have forgotten the size... I think its 18x16x16 3/8 cast acrylic IHI_7818 by in his image, on Flickr Tony the builder...what a ham!! IHI_7822 by in his image, on Flickr IHI_7820 by in his image, on Flickr IHI_7826 by in his image, on Flickr IHI_7827 by in his image, on Flickr Final product-minus the EuroBracing on top. IHI_7829 by in his image, on Flickr Should have the tank cycling by next weekend |

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. |

Thanks. I'm hoping to get the water in it this weekend. I went with a Marineland canister filter and an inline heater.

Thats what I run on my 100 gallon cichlid tank the large canister with inline heater and Aquaclear 110, I'm not sure how marineland is for saltwater, but for fresh I love it that canister polishes my water so clear
