Welcome to R2R and the salty world. Lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed.

I’ve been cruising here looking for answers as I started researching how to beat care for Calypso. And the. I decided to leave stalker mode, register, and join the ranks! Lol. I love the share all knowledge feel of this community so far.

Hello fellow reefers,
Hubs and I are auquaholics. We did ALL of our dating at aquariums, Sea World, the Florida Keys, beaches, diving ... water was always involved. We even got married at the Florida Aquarium. We pursued careers in wildlife rehabilitation and care, and now my health has declined to where going to various dive sites, aquariums, and such must take a pause. So we are bringing God’s beauty to us. A local vendor had a peacock mantis shrimp and up till we saw that beauty we had gone back and forth on getting a tank. Well, we’ve started. And hopefully, this is the start of a beautiful hobby. Looking forward to sharing the ups and downs that is a reef and mantis tank. I’ve attached a picture of my tank that is now two weeks into cycling and a picture of Calypso (About 6 inches) in her temporary home while she waits for her forever home to finish doing its thang.

Welcome! Mantis shrimps are gorgeous! My wife wouldn't let me set up another tank...

Welcome to R2R!!! I’ll be following in hopes you make a build thread!!! Love mantis build threads!!

Got a peacock myself, amazing creatures!

I’ve always been fascinated by them. Never thought to look into owning one until I saw this one in the aquarium, I am super excited to add her to our family. I’m looking forward to sharing my tank building experiences. And I’ll look for yours too.

You can see build threads by clicking on the “build thread” banner if they have one. My mantis build is on my banner. If would like to see my little guy. Named him “one punch”.
