Like to hear everyone’s opinion:
Currently running 550G mixed reef (total water volume in the system 950G). The system is beaming with microfauna and I actually have a problem with glass constantly covered in pods. I have just one female spotted mandarin for pod control. But based on how fat my mandy is and the amount of pods I still have on the glasses I know I can more than enough sustain multiple. The questions are-
1. Can I introduce another spotted female/male to live in peace, or possibly pair up with current female?
2. Has anyone tried mixing spotted and squiggly in the same tank?

In my opinion your tank is big enough, but don’t take my word for it. Nice tank regardless.
+1 to this, I'd say your tank is big enough. don't introduce another female though if you do go for another spotted. also my LFS used to have a spotted and squiggly that got along just fine in their 5'x2'x2' tank. I'd say give it a go as there seems to be plenty of food and hiding places for two.
