Remember if the break the glass that's when you pull out the glock because at that point it's self defense

I know this video is a year old but I really wanted to comment and keep the algorithm going. Looks like you have a G. Smithii one of my favorite due to the easy of care foe these guys. Honestly I think the pipe isd was a bit large but good idea. I hope you also added some rock rubble so the mantis can close off the entrance an exit holes. This is important for multing

This is the best video I saw about making a tank

Thank you. I didn’t really find in depth videos like this. I’m hoping to buy one. I subscribed

great vid thx for making it im german and liked your video very much i want to get a mantis shrimp too

Super cool little dude

I have a 10 gallon and now just need to find one to buy ;(

William Brown what kind of tank

if you add vibrant to your tanks it will get rid of all the algae with out hurting anything in your tank it is made by underwater creations believe me it works great. please don't think i am criticizing you tanks just helping .

what type of tank is that?

I really want to get a salt water tank with a mantis shrimp so bad. Theyre so cool, can you put any other fish in there ? Or will they kill everything lol?

Did you use a 10lb bag of live sand or bigger ??

I'm moving to some place with waaaay more room than my old house, and seeing how I'm an aquarium fan I'm very tempted to make way for one of these bad boys

Great video but just the thought of tap water scares me sooooo bad lol 😰

do you have IG or anything like that. Why dont you like the live rock ? What could you use instead of it

Live rock is taken from the sea, so in some cases it supports damaging the environment. You could get dry rock instead (not taken from the sea). instagram.com/azsfishroom/

This fluval tank comes with a built in filter. The mantis shrimp is a very hardy invertabrate, a sponge filter with water changes every other week would suffice.

Ok I see you cycled your tank for about 4 wks b4 adding ur mantis. I new to the saltwater hobbie altogether. I’ve did endless reading on tanks and set up and learning about mantis shrimp. Just need pointers and help from someone that has one as well! I didn’t get the same brand as you (turbo start) but I got the Dr. Tim's Aquatics One and Only Saltwater to speed up the cycle. Do you recommend still waiting 4 weeks? Or just do Consistent water test? Also saying something about iodine is that only when the mantis is molting ? Could you touch on that topic please.

What filter and heater do you use ?

The filter is a built in sump on the fluval spec v tank. The heater is a bit oversized 300 watt economy heater.

Probably not. But if you are worried about the glass you should get an acrylic tank. It's multiple times stronger than glass.

instant ocean is the worst kind of salt its waaaaay too cheap. and for reef tanks your gonna need rodi water..
