I was watching discovery channel the other day and they had a prehistoric isopod episode featuring a little bit about the mantis shrimp. I guess they have the fastest strike in the world and they are very, very aggresive. The MS they had on the show was in a small tank and was striking at the host's fingers through the glass. He looked amazing! Of course I would never want to pet him though...

I always put water first LOL.

BTW you will need a lot more then two power plugs, remember about GFI's for your power circuits, you will be glad you did.

Oh trust me. Between me being an instrument technician and my better half a power engineer we've got that covered. That pic was just a sneak peak. We've even considered power failure and have a generator hookup.

Thanks for the heads up though, I'm sure many people overlook that and run into some major problems down the road. It's silly that something as silly as not running a cord on a drip loop can screw up your several thousand dollar investment. You can never be too careful!
