Not too much to speak of. Gingi is starting to get a cyano outbreak on her live rock rubble again, but that's not too terribly exciting
I need to figure out a way to keep her sand clean without having to buy snails that will become meals (and I have a hard enough time watching her with astreas let alone nassarius). We are also going to try and start experimenting with different foods and mixtures and putting vitamins in it. We want out children to live as long as possible

Gingi seems to be getting bored, so we are thinking of adding another "wing" onto her home, and seeing if that entertains her a bit. We will probably try and connect the two with barriers so she has to work for it, but not to the point where it is near impossible. Now the hard part, putting this stuff in there without her having some fun with our hands

I was just looking to see what was instock over there . . .
They have one O.Scy and its already 4" and a chilitta . 4" is a little big for the tank right now .
I am now thinking I might just have to wait until we move and I can upgrade the trigger and then use the 75 for a mantis and the 14 for a plain old reef nano .
I am actually pretty frustrated with it all right now . The nano is looking good though . I will get some updated pictures over the weekend .

Yeah, you definitely need to get some new pics up
Sounds like everything is very frustrating. When we were looking for our mantis, they had a ton of O. Scyllarus to choose from. I wonder what's going on with them

Is Monty as "violent" as Gingi is? I mean, will he eat live food and does he make loud clicking noises? I know he's a different species and he's small so I was just wondering. My now ex-boyfriend (
) bought a nano book over the weekend and there was a whole section on mantis tanks!

Sorry about your relationship.
Monty would eat live food if I gave him something that was small enough. He also whacks things and we can hear the clicking noises. He is pretty similar to Gingi other than he is not as active as she is, he is a little more shy.
