    So, I just set up a ten gallon tank. 10 pounds of live sand. 10 pounds of live rock. HOB filter for physical filtration/carbon. Basic setups. Its really for inverts probably, but general ideas?

    I've been thinking of setting up a small mantis tank. Would you plumb a mantis tank to the sump of your main tank or is this a big NO?

    Don't really want a mantis, but its an interesting idea. I thought they needed a larger setup.
