    Reef Diver's Mantis Tank Diary, and the daily life of Davo the Mantis

    Davo is secretive, but not without cause, the LFS i found him in thought he was a curiosity, tortured the poor guy (figuratively) You can order a N. wenneare from Tampa Bay Saltwater, its expensive, but they're wild, healthy, and not tortured. If you look here , you can find something that...

    Self-contianed eco systems

    Cool site, only thing is that the marine setup was a bit topsy turvy, we all know to put LR in w/ sand, because otherwise you run the risk of another cycle. Me, I would enjoy trying that with a mantis. but we all have to remember many of our systems are like this as well, we use refugiums to...
