Mantis? Err... how about something that you can remove/give away easier such as a Harlequin Tusk

Hey Ken,

Thanks for droppin by the other day. Hope the rocks are to ur liking....they should be really good for scaping with all the caves and crevices.

But just curious to know how'd the anemone do during the transport? Is the 2ft rock in the same tub as the rest of the cycling rocks?

post some pics when u start scaping the main tank!

cheers...

Hi bro, those rocks are gorgeous, except a bit hairy but not a big problem

We manage to reach home within half an hour, so no damage for both rock & anemone

Hopeful she can survive for another one month before the main tank arrive, water parameter in the holding tank is good expect a bit warm at 29 degree

This pix for you incase you miss her too much

Will try out some dry scraping one of these night when I get my gloves

Hope to see u back with a bigger tank when u settle down

Got to finalnize the return pumps configaration since the main tank already in the making

old man like me only trust eheim pump sad...

[iceman]

Bro, looking good.

[yvoneysl]

Bought a cheap wavemaker, guess what is it

wave maker

[piero]

wave box?

[jc85]

R u planning to run the eheim externally to cut down on some heat?

Why dun u consider getting a bigger pump to combine 2 of the 1262 & 1264? There are a few choices and can save some space & electric bills too.

I'll run the chiller return to the main tank for better efficiency. The Tee for FR can come from other pump too.

Cheers
