Ag wat, what's one more hijack between friends...lol.
Waynan has given me an idea with this Mantis shrimp of his.
So a quick question: If I'm not mistaken, Mantis Shrimps like to dig don't they? So what substrate should I use for one of them and how deep?

Galibore they like to make caves under rocks, so a 3cm fine to medium substrate would work.
I like the idea of a Mantis Tank too, they are fascinating creatures.

oi! oi! stop stealing my ideas 
3-5 cm of a medium of fine substrate is perfect, but remember to add some LR for the shrimp to build his home under, as well as some smaller pieces so that he can block the entrance when sleeping and molting. If however you are fortunate enough to get a spearer then you will need a DSB 10cm as they make tunnels in the sand.

Seriously it's great when you see something to a problem that's been bugging you for ages and just didn't know how to fix it.

You have seen those two little powerheads I have in my nano, They rated at about 190l/h, but you can calm them down by simply cuttiung the end of the impellors of. Got them for R55 from Pet Masters. Also removed all the nozzles stuf to give it a nice big outlet. I am pointing them to the front glass and have put them on timers so sometime they run on their own, sometime togeter and sometime not at all.
Seam to be doing a good job and not to in your face.

Len,
Yeah I saw. And was pondering it. But I have lost a clown and two shrimps to an in-tank powerhead already.
Sims,
That's all I had to use: Tank, filter, light, aragonite and LR. Then you're good to go.
