It was meant to just be a holding tank which has turned into a proper tank! Never nano'd before and I am really enjoying the little tanks.

What's your pop population like for the Mandy? Hopefully you can get it onto prepared food quickly (if it isn't already).

Tank is looking great. I might have to start up a Nano again :)
Cheers,
Aaron.

Heaps of pods that's kinda why I was like well a mandarin will be good for that. But I have bought a range of frozen stuff to see if Mandy will prefer one over the other to get eating normal stuff as well as pods. I've been keeping my nutrients a little higher than normal which I think helped with the pod explosion. So nitrates between 2.5-5 and phosphate 0.03. It's pretty sps dominant and they seem to enjoy the slightly higher nutrients colonies have been really bright and vivid.

Yeah I've really enjoyed having this little nano, I'm moving soon and I think I will upgrade it to a slightly bigger one maybe like 100L but I probably will always have a nano as well as a large tank now
