    Okay I put an old 50/50 fixture over the tank for some pics. It's hard to take good ones with the low actinic lighting normally over the tank.

    I also added a little tomato clown to the tank yesterday. I figured it would be mean enough to defend itself against the mantis. So far it's doing fine.

    I haven't done a water change in a while..there's a little bit of algae..but you get the idea.

    And I took a quick video. I already fed him today, so I just used a zip tie to piss him off and get him out of his den.

    That's just the biological filtration. It's pretty much just a flattened out bioball. Comes with the filter. Thanks.

    We can have joint custody of the mantis. Once I show him the video, he will go for it. Im sure of it.. So meet me in the Gump tomorrow around 4pm at Aquarium Fantasies. See you then.. :cheesy:
