    Mandaran advise

    I'm in the design phase, I'm hoping with input it will be designed right. My LFS said the same thing, big fuge and time will make it possible eventually. He has several mandaran so I think he is right. My DT will be reef so there will be a lot of LR. Also LR and sand bed in the sump.

    I'm designing a custom 40g now. My LFS guru said he can design a custom sump/refuge to eventually support a mandaran. Thoughts?

    My 1st 'Nano' Tank: 28G JBJ CF-QUAD Diary

    Im really thinking about getting one of these. I have heard some people who think the glass tops will trap to much heat with the MH assembly. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Im hoping to turn it into a 29g reef paradise...:)
