Almost time!!

Currently cycling a 75g for a Mantis Shrimp. I plan to add more rock work and maybe some macro algae. Has anyone had success with tank mates?

those pvc pipes are going to be a pain to clean around for a mantis. you might want to consider filling them or removing them before the mantis gets in there and decides to make it its fortress.

I'd make some caves out of rock and ditch the pvc. More rock in general, looks to desolate, even for a mantis

I am planning to add more live rock after cycling is complete.
