They look good! Any thoughts on lights on the 2.5? I want to do a 2.5 thats why I ask. The Mantis Shrimp with the Damsels, will be cool to see how that will work out. Do you have more than one Mantis Shrimp? If you do they will give the Damsels a run for there money. OT: Did you see the new Sopranos?

yeah i had two mantis shrimps and one died...the remaining one is named Silvio. the damsels are in there just for some color, if they get eaten..no big deal...the 2.5 is my brothers tank and i think he wants to put one of the Mini-Aqualights on it (hopefully the 18 watts wont be too much).

and yeah i just saw the sopranos this morning (dled off limewire)...wow it was crazy, but EXCELLENT!!!

I think 18 watts should be ok. PM sent.

Nice looking tanks. I like the cube the most.

well we just added 1 peppermint to each tank. at first the one in the little cube was going nuts and wouldnt sit still, now he has his own little spot and seems to like it. we also added some small star polyps to the cube.
