So I picked up an 8g Nuvo the other day for a screaming deal. A lot smaller then what I am normally used to having for any type of setup, but I had a light bulb go off. Species specific tank. So what I decided to do was make my little 8g Nuvo into a Manits Shrimp tank. I will be putting some soft corals in there, but not going to go overboard. I have always wanted a Mantis Shrimp.. such an intriguing animal. The shrimp has already been ordered and the tank is pretty much ready to go. I will post some pictures later when I can get some extra time to do so. Can not wait for the Peacock Mantis to finally make his home in my desk tank. OHHH yeah before I forget this is not the tank that I had planned on starting with that one is still coming as well :) Until then.. Here is a link for some good laughs http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DF5FEj9U-CJM&h=4AQHx2q10" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5FEj9U-CJM ------------- Molon Labe Si vis pacem, para bellum |

That's awesome...I want one too. Not trying to be a downer, but you may need to start thinking about an upgrade eventually. The peacocks will need about a 30g tank. ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |

Yeah, for now he is small. He will have a larger home before to long. :) There is still room for a bigger setup on my desk. ------------- Molon Labe Si vis pacem, para bellum |
