tank setup looks nice.....but im no expert im a new to reefing myself but i think ur tank is a little too young for a mandarin from what ive heard people say

yungreefer2410 · 08-10-2008, 04:49 PM

yea u have a lot of fish in there i would def. get rid of the damsels. u probably gonna have to feed the manderain unless you have a lotpods ect.

zeus_roush · 08-10-2008, 05:24 PM

The tank looks good, but I would get rid of atleast the 3 stripe and fore sure the tang. I had a 3 stripe that killed a dog face puffer a panther grouper, and would even fight my clown trigger. Mind you all the fish it killed and fought with were 5 times his size. There a pain to get out of a tank. As for the tang your gonna catch alot of slack here for having a tang in that small of a tank.

yungreefer2410 · 08-10-2008, 06:03 PM

it looks very small as i have a small one in my 30 gall. my tang has been the same size forever. he just matures. i will soon be upgrading to a 55 gallon so he will have to to swim in before long

awesome tank! just want to point out the blue hippo will need a 125g and you need to order pods for that mandarin so he doesnt starve

yungreefer2410 · 08-10-2008, 06:59 PM

when he gets too big i'm gonna trade him back to the store

damian05 · 08-11-2008, 09:54 PM

i will trade the tang for other fishes later.

and im feeding my mandarin frozen food

Watch out for that damsel, as that species gets older it gets more territorial and will kill any fish you add to the tank when it gets older.
