And his TEMPORARY Red Sea/Azoo 1g cutesy little POS with WORST FILTER IN THE WORLD! 
I dropped a monti digi frag, bullseye shrooms, and 2 different zoa frags in. Well see what does OK with 7W over 1g (probably the wrong spectrum too :p) _________ 14g Oceanic Cube

Ah, another happy mantis owner! Any idea what species it is? If not, this is a great page to help identify the bugger and learn more about it's natural environment and care.
P.S. Einstein says Hello!! ( Gonodactylaceus ternatensis)
