My 120 Getting On Its Way

[NYAUX]

I was in the store about 2:30. There is no way I would put a mantis that big into my tank. I would never clean it again and any coral that fell would be on it's own

they did not even bag it, they put it in a salt bucket and sealed the lid.

starting slow is good. are you going to use 2 part or get a ca reactor?

hmmm I must of just left around that time I was there for a good hour ..lol hope he has a tank for just that thing alone. i think i'll start off with two part and see if I need to go with a ca reactor later.

:Yikes:Just don't put your hands near him...yikes :Yikes:!

Trust me I wasn't evening thinking of really getting that thing..BUt I could help stop and stare at how big it was..wonder if it'll get any bigger than what it was.

I love it! It looks wonderful, now I can't wait to see it stocked. But don't rush it, wouldn't want you to kill anything.

After all the work I put into it now, i'm not going to rush it and waste money killing stuff.lol I"ll start off with some easy corals and work my way up as time goes by.

heres another pic so you guys get an idea on how big it was

2 part is great I love it. it's much simpler than the reactor plus kalk stirrer combo.

that mantis went into a reef tank, not his own little tank!

i found a cool article on the peacock mantis in usa today of all places,

Thanks you Russ. I couldn't have done it with out Manhattan reefs , I've learned alot from reading the post and taking my time reviewing pic's of people setups and seeing what would work for me. This site has tons of info and from what I have read , tons of great people how are willing to lend a hand . Hoping to make my tank look as good as everyone's here. MR KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK :thrash:

Well its been awhile since I updated my tank tread.. here are some pic's of what it looks like so far . I'm very happy with the turn out and I can't wait to start stocking with some corals. I also got the RK2 and I love it :biggrinpa
