thanks, its nice to know that it is helping

it was kinda challenging not going into all the details, so as not lose the "big picture"

ChrisP, thats sweets, like Dr.Hank said, this is not really for "newbies" and i know you know what i am talking about on how much of the info out there starts getting into the little stuff with whatever setup and leaves out the dynamics of other cycle interactions, or just provides info for part of system, which leads to "lost in translation" info.

althea2you, you will have a nice tank, just the fact that you are here=nice tank

bluespotjawfish, aahhh, those two left behind a not so cute baby

lets hope it grows slowly. for those of you who are going, huh? we are talking about a very unwanted creature. the dreaded mantis shrimp, its a slicer, its a dicer and its hungry for your fish, crabs, snails and yes your fingers are on the menu too. but, even this guy is wanted by some. its really a cool creature but after it grows up it does not go well with much of anything. they pretty much need a tank dedicated to them.
