I finally did it! Mandarin

[Ziggy953]

Well I have allowed my system to mature for well over a year. I have nearly 140lbs of LR in a 72g tank. I have a 20g fuge pumping out so many pods that my tank is over run with the little guys. I've had a Mandarin on hold at my LFS for almost a month now (in QT) and today he got to come home! He is huge, I've never seen one so large. As soon as I find my cam I'll get some pics of him. I love the fish. He went to hunting as soon as I put him in the tank. I'm so pleased!!!! Go me!

yes, congratulations

I dream of the day when I will be able to add a mandarin - according to your schedule, I only have a minimum of 355 days to go

LOL...the key is to have lots and lots of pods in your tank.....that comes with time and lots of LR and a fuge helps too! Not to worry you will get there...I did!!!

Oh well...I'll take some tomorrow and post...I need to take some pics of my SPS for my SPS growth comparison I'm doing....

You can't really tell in the pic but he is huge! Probably 3.5-4" long and nice and fat!
