those "things" are shells encrusted over with bryzoan :) or actually to are shells one is rock... i have a couple snails in there too just for the shameface (they eat snails) i just fed him one
troy srry but i dont have a mandarin yet lol :) im gonna get one but i dont have one yet. if u can visibally see the copepods on your glass and you think your tank is ready, give it a shot. i know people have kept mandarins in 29 gallons so i bet you could. what other things do you have in it?

how long were u planning on waiting to get a mandarin? id say 4 months minimum and the refugium will help greatly in making more copepods. before you get one make sure your tank is ready to handle one. also read up on peoples personal experiances with them. that helped me greatly
