Nice looking aquascape! How is the Mandarin doing in your tank?
 
Mandarin doing great after $1,000 of tigger pods hes now eating. Mysis
That's great! I've had a couple that wouldn't transition to mysis. They can be picky that's for sure. But they are a beautiful fish. Tank looks great.
 
Love a beautiful Mandarin! Glad it's doing well. Thanks for sharing your tank!
 
I might have to get one of those modular marines over my big, ugly, white bucket!
