    I think he's talking about more the BioCube. I know the biocube 9's and 14's have terrible problems with the pumps heat. Most people just trade them out completely for a couple of koralia's

    I just ordered that fan kit I put up by the way. :D My mom found it alot more appealing than a $100 stand, so I'm going to give it a try. I'll let you guys know how things go.

    I keep my 14 biocube at 80 and I never notice a drop or rise

    but thats probably only how hot it can get

    do mantis need a specific temp?

    Cool stuff dude! I never set up my biocube, so I've never ordered from them, but did speak to them on a few occasions. They have awesome customer service. And the word from everyone that has ordered from them is very good, high quality stuff. Keep us updated ;)

    See this is a nano on a budget. A very very very tight budget...meaning my budget haha. My mom can drop all kinds of money all willy nilly on the 46, but she bought the nano, and will buy the shrimp, and was going to buy the stand, but I managed to get a freebie. So I gotta buy everything else. Rock, sand, the little magfloat, anything for the fuge, and anything that breaks. And food. Including the cute little striped damsel I put in there today. He's a shy bugger, but when he thinks I'm not looking he comes out. :D
