I don't want it to strike me and I'm on my way to work with it cause my lfs is by my work and I didn't have time but I think it's just green all over

[Khij159753]

My lfs would give you $5-10 if its all green.

$10-20 if its the cooler ones.

He was cool to ill miss him haha

[Beengirl]

That was the quickest discovery, capture, and return of a mantis I've seen yet!! Lol. They're kinda cool, but not a good hitchhiker if you're wanting to keep fish.

Yeah I guess I got lucky what I did was take the rock he was in out and found something to fit in the hole to poke him out with netted him up and put him in a bucket it was cool to see and learn about the mantis cool experience so far I'm letting the snails and hermits cycle my tank leave the light on around three hours a day I've basically just let it sit.

How do I know when to put freshwater in and how much?

[CorallineAlgae]

If your salt level is where you want it then you always top off with freshwater when it evaporates.

[zhuber]

How am I looking can someone update me on what's going on in my cycle

[Khij159753]

Looks like your in your nitrite phase. It's the longest one. Your nitrites will slowly start changing into nitrates. And eventually you will have 0-ammonia 0-nitrite and super high nitrates

[Wolfsblood]

You're getting there. Congrats! Make sure to space out your livestock additions about a month apart.

My dad who messes with my stuff and doesn't listen to me unified my filter for whatever reason so it's been off for I don't know how long should I be worried?
