I've been planning a 5.5G mantis only nano tank for a while. I took a standard AGA 5.5G added a false wall divided into two sections, one is for a mini fuge, and the other hold the return pump (mini jet 606) and heater. Then I built a matching stand and canopy stained to my bedroom furniture. In the canopy i mounted 6x 12" cold cathode tubes (4 white 2 blue) over the main area and 2x 4" white cold cathodes over the fuge. Cold cathodes are normally used to light custom pc cases. The tank will house a N. Wennerae mantis as well as some select soft corals and macro algae. Basically I'm trying to recreate a south Florida bay flat biotope with macro algae (caluerpa, halimeda, sea lettuce, etc..) and some mushrooms, zoas.
