I have a few acquaintances that have expressed interest in setting up saltwater aquariums, but to tell you the truth, I’m not sure that this hobby is for everybody.
This thing looks like it’s going to jump at you like a facehugger from Alien. It’s actually just a harmless crab, and I’ve even seen some videos of these in aquariums, but it is a weird animal.
A great video example of drilling an aquarium to add a skimmer box. The end result looks like it will work well.

I added one of these to my 75 gallon aquarium setup a little over a year ago, and it was such a great upgrade over my original aquarium lights that I just couldn’t possibly imagine going back to my original setup.
If you watch this, you’ll understand why you want to keep your hands out of the tank if you have a mantis shrimp, listen for the knocking sounds while it attacks and eats!
