Sorry, the usually say the only way to substain a healthy mandrian you need atleast 100lbs of live rock. They are beautiful fish but very hard to keep healthy. good luck with your tank. keep us posted!!!
i would have to suggest you don't purchse one for a 50g. I think that the tank couldn't sustain a big enough pod population for the mandrian. Do you have a lot of live rock??? Do you have pods??? Someone may say that you can but i think that a 50 g is to small to have a healthy mandrian. but...
What do you mean no light??? I had them grow fine and multiply under just 45w of lighting. I wouldn't recommended it. What lights do you have and what wattage???
I know what you mean but when i need to get water and thats the only place open when i need it, i will get it. i knew when i said that i was gonna get crusified for even suggesting buying water from there. Thats life and i'm stickin to it!!!!
This site is great from any needs you have!!! Also try to find a LFS near you that has a great knowledge of saltwater fish and livestock. DON'T BUY FROM *****!!!!!!!! And if you ever have questions about anything just come here!!! good luck
I agree as well. Stick with the three fish and the verts. what kind of lights are you running on your tank?? those brush plants need strong light to do well. well good luck and keep us posted!!!
I would diffently cut back the hours. the algae will come right back when your lights come back on for there normal period of time. do you have a clean up crew??
No way!!!! I mainly buy my ro/di water from my LFS but, they are only open Thur-Friday 6-9, Sat 10-8, Sun 12-6. So if i need to top off my water or due a water change i just buy that box of ***** water. it does the job for me!!!
Yeah it cost the same. I buy there water and thats it. i agree with everyone else don't buy anything else from *****. the water in my opion is fine. So just do what works for you!!!:D
Tank is now gone. thanks for the reply's. If anyone wants to do some fraging any time feel free to e-maik me or post it and we can set it up maybe. Some of my corals are getting to big for my nano tank!!!!
