My Moving Biofilter does the same thing. There’s a ton of natural positive bacterial matter in my system; no name brand required.

what do you feed up to 2000 mantis?

No. The eggs contain 100-200 mantis each, so theres a maximum of 2000. Some will eat each other too.

This year, mites and thrips was a problem, but beyond that,…

It’s an old house, so my hope is they’ll explore. Theres plenty of bugs throughout this building. If not, my building is downtown, so maybe they’ll spread to the adjacent buildings, or be released into the neighborhood. They cant hurt anything, is my thoughts.

Will do, bud.

For a few weeks my swirl filter has been disconnected because of construction and moving things around. As a result, the debris in my sprinklers have been getting progressively worse. After checking the clogs constantly for days, I’ve reinstalled, and have added some smaller filters to make up for lost time.

How are the mantis’s working out bud??? How many do you think have hatched???

60

Probably around 500-600 hatched, at least. It’s hard to tell because most of the eggs hatched when I wasn’t there.

I wish the construction was more complete, as I would be able to control their movement. Over all, I’d say they are a success.
