Hey Everyone! Just want to document here my current reef build for my peacock mantis shrimp.
I picked up a water box cube 20, nero3, ai prime, and upgraded the return pump to a 1.5 syncra silent (stock return is loud!!) I’ll be adding a duetto ato soon too. Still waiting on ai prime from Amazon to show up. I do not plan on running a skimmer but if needed will do.
It’s been about a week since the tank has been setup. The mantis is currently in qt while tank is cycling he’s currently house with a hermit in qt (suppose to be food!) but has shown no interest, he sure does love silversides though.
Was wondering what light cycle I should be running for mostly a soft coral tank with some lps in the future.
stock plans if mantis doesn’t kill everything
mantis
Velvet damsel
Pair of clowns
Possible six line wrasse or tailspot Blenny
Mixed soft corals
Hermits and snails
Thank you in advanced, I do understand the risks I have with a mantis in a reef but I’m willing to try to make it work.
