Yea, my worry with the mandarin is that I won't be able to supply it with enough food to sustain it. I'm expecting it will completely clean out the pod population relatively quickly. I know their digestive system isn't designed for large feedings, so I'm worried that it will need feedings throughout the day. I could automatically feed dry food through the day, but that's counting on it eating pellets. Would it be able to eat with the pumps on? I have a Sicce 1.0 (250 gph) on a random flow generator educator, and I'm planning on having another powerhead in the tank for more flow for the corals.
PaulB's dragonet feeder seems like a great idea. Can anyone explain how much work is required to maintain such a feeding apparatus?
I'm planning on turning the middle chamber in the back into a refugium. How old should the tank be before adding a Mandarin? There's already a few pods in the display. I managed to catch one and take a picture of it last night.
