This is my first time posting pix so if they suck, Sorry. Anyways, my tank doesn't compare to some of you guys/gals tanks but tell me what you think. The left side is kinda darker in the tank shot because I just installed MH lights and haven't recieved my 2nd bulb yet. As for there not being a background on the tank, I just took it off because I wanted to be able and see it from my other room which now I can. :)
Enjoy
Tell me what ya think....
My Mandarin

yes, he eats. He also takes brine shrimp. I've had it 8 monthes. Slowly adding stuff to it. It's not as big and flashy as some of you guys though.

thanks.
If I get a backdrop, then it looks GROSS from the other side of the room. When you walk in my house you'd see this ugly backdrop.

please get more live rock! your mandarin wont live long in there, i had probably three times the amount of rock in my tank and he was taking some brineshrimp and he got really skinny with pinched in flanks and he died, you have not got nearly enough rock for one of these fish but if hes eating some brine shrimp and adding rock regualry, u mite just be ok!

^^I added 15 more pds of LR today. I've been feeding the Mandarin Brine Shrimp and Rotifers. (both frozen). Also, he eats VERY well. EVERY time I feed, he's never NOT ate.
As for the anemone, I just got him 1 day before that pic. I put him in under the main MH light (btw, I just ordered my other light) He went to the darker side of my tank but I came hom yesterday and he was making his way over to the right side. I'd say by the time I wake up in the morning, he'll be on the far right directly under the MH.
