Sounds fine to me. You will lose a little bit of filtration power until the base rock becomes live. Shouldn't be a problem though if you have...
Jwin- I don't think it is an O. havanensis. On this picture...

My stand is a cheapo steel stand that holds two tanks a 20gal on top and a 10 gal on the bottom. Currently I have the mantis tank on the top sitting...
I think us mantis enthusiasts like to talk about them whether you actually get one or not. :)
You getting it for free doesn't bother me actually. Free is always nice though. Personally I don't mind paying $10 plus shipping for the one I will...
