Wow runner.. thats a really really good idea...
so the pods just fall out of the little holes? hows it work?
so this makes keeping a mandarin a zinch right?
im not so scared of getting a mandarin now.. always wanted one..

I use red bubble kelp with culerpa and chaeto in my tank, dunno how effective it is by itself, but in that combo, its magic.

alright we were going to head out to a-z pets because they actually have chaeto...so that would be awsome if we could grab a little something which will have copepods on it at least until we get our order of copepods in...are you going to be home in the next hour or hour and a half?

WELL..i dont know if it makes having a mandarin easy..but it does help with supplying it more. I actually wanna add more of this to my tank just to make sure the mandarin doesnt run out.

we picked up the hang on soap unit thing today and also found a lfs that sold us a clump of chaeto and also bellanavis gave us some live rock with a bunch of copepods on it....so i busted up the live rock and put that in the soap unit with the chaeto and hopefully this equals happy mandarin!

yeah, i hope it works out. I'd keep an eye on your mandarin....make sure his belly look plump and not concave(so i've heard).
