my ten gallon mantis tank so far!

ok i havent for sure made my decision on the manits of choice but i think i may have worked out most of the kinks for burrowers. well without further adu my tank without water since im so poor i cant even buy any yet!!

 

Looks like your off to a great start! Cant wait to see it with water.

 

Nice! That'll look really cool when it's all up and running, too. Keep us posted.

 

I know all about poor,i have a 15 gallon cycling(that i'm not sure what to put in it yet)but that's a good thing,I can't afford anything right now,so it's helping me keep my patience with the cycling(i tend to try to hurry things up and go to fast!!LOL)

 

BTW-nice looking start

 

thanks all! i plan on putting water in first lol i know not supposed to but i want it to cycle so i have time to save up for base rock for it. thanks all and keep tha posts coming!

 

check out my 10 gallon if you havent all ready link is in my sig learn from my mistakes

 

should the rocks go in first before the sand because of how much they burrow and move things? and I kind of wish my 25 gallon fresh water tank would croak so I could turn that into a mantis tank....

 

lol no it doesnt really matter with the rock its just easier to aquascape with it in last but i dont think i'll need to worry about aquascaping with a mantis. lol

 

Yes,the rocks should go in first anyway due to shifting in the sandbed and causing a tumble.
