I was looking into a wennerae. My LFS said they could get one in for me, and since they really hate having them around, he'd just give it to me as long as i bought some live rock from his since his stuff doesnt really sell, they focus more on FW. Sounded like a deal to me.
So update.
The filter has completely cleared out the cloudyness from the live sand. Right now it's just a small ugly tank because the filter is literally taking up the whole tank since it's attached to a powerhead.
I talked to the guy from the LFS i deal with (Fintastic Fish in Plainville MA). He said that going with a 2.5G for a mantis is what they usually recommend for anyone wanting a mantis shrimp, since anything over 10G is just dumb if they happen to break the glass, which hey, it happens. We talked about different corals and mushrooms that would work well with it, and definately got me more excited than ever about this project. I'm going to start looking around for some really active looking LR, including craigslist as suggested by the guy at the LFS.
Pics up tomorrow.
