So, I just picked-up a small Green Mandarin the other day from my LFS, and thought I’d ask for advice on keeping him nice and plump and healthy. I have a 3 year old 55 gallon mixed reef tank with lots of live rock (80 lbs), sand, and a nice mix of coral. I don’t have a sump (still use an HOB and Canister filter from my fresh water days). When I peak inside the tank in the middle of the night with a red LED, looks like I have plenty of PODs, but I know this little guy will take care of that pretty quick. I just bought a POD Chest from Barr Aquatic Systems and plan to place it in the tank in a couple days, hoping that it will keep my POD population numbers up, and bought a bottle of PODs and added it to the tank the day I bought the Mandarin. Here’s a pic of the POD chest for reference:
So.....any words of wisdom for me? Thanks
