Hey everyone,
i created a little website for my 5g mantis tank.

if you have a little bit of time, check it out!

Very nice site, you definately have skills bro!

Need more close ups of the mantis though. If your open to suggestions, perhaps you could add more information on mantis keeping and husbandry, then link site to the mantis thread for those interested.

I cant get over how impressed i am with the site though, very well done! As well as the tank!

that looks great! I want one too! well with out the bug like mantis in it. Is it a lot of work to keep water good?

thanks Matt, i appreciate your good words. always open to suggestions. i'd like to play up the mantis more, but he's been a little camera shy, i hope add more content as time goes on.

Dusty: it's not too difficult. i do a 10-20% water change, depending on if i change weekly or every other week. i also chose to stock hardy inhabitants that are tolerant of higher nutrient levels.

Very nice site Jeff! One suggestion though, the link at the bottom of the pages to LVVR takes you from your site to RC. Have you thought about having it open in a new window?

thanks for the suggestion donna, i changed it so it pops a new window.

jeff,

i will definitely be taking you up on the zoo trading! i've got some, i just need to learn to frag 'em better!

btw, where is the little beastie hiding in there?

opihi · #14 10/19/2004, 11:06 AM

he hides mostly in the big rock in the center of the tank, and ventures under the entire LR structure, hunting for strombus snails.

i still can't get him to want to take pictures

opihi · #15 10/19/2004, 11:12 AM

oh yeah, bring it on with the zoo trades. i'll frag anything with more than 10 polyps.

i didn't get all these varieties for nuthin!
