    I dropped a monti digi frag, bullseye shrooms, and 2 different zoa frags in. Well see what does OK with 7W over 1g (probably the wrong spectrum too :p)

    Ah, another happy mantis owner! Any idea what species it is? If not, this is a great page to help identify the bugger and learn more about it's natural environment and care.

    P.S. Einstein says Hello!! (Gonodactylaceus ternatensis)

    I'm guessing G. Smithi for right now. Too small to even see a meral spot :/
    Thanks for the link, but I'm already a follower of Dr. Roy!
