The inverted soda bottle worked great for me, super easy too. I think the key is that mantis has to be hungry enough to overcome its suspicions of the new unnatural object.

Here's the setup I made for my 6 gallon eclipse. You would probably only have room for one 20 watt light on a 3 gallon. Good luck!
