for your mandarin:
some guy on you tube was showing a feeding process using clear tube and a syringe to pump food directly at the mandarin. The mandarin watches the food slide through the tube and gets curious. I have tried this and its now the new way for me to feed my mandarin.
HTH and of course PM me with any questions

AHHH!
I just got home, and did a water change. Well during the change the lid to my tank slammed close. Nothing broke from what I could tell, all is well.
So I keep on with the water change (everything is off at this point.) I spill some water down the back of my tank. Still, no biggie. Well, I got a used powerhead, and I was positioning it in the tank before I turned everything on and I got it were I wanted it. I turned everything on, and stick my hand into the water to position the powerhead's flow... and bam! I got SHOCKED like a mofo. IT HURT BAD!
So I imediately turn everything off again. Check the new powerhead, take it out, turn the tank back on. Stick my hand in the water. ZAP! Dang. It hurt more the second time. I turned everything off again. i look at my return pump and there are wires exposed!!! I musted have cracked the tubing around the wires when it slammed close! AND They had gotten wet when I was doing the water change. SOOOO, now I need a new return pump. ASAP! Any idea on the brand? gallons per hour? I dont even know were to start!
All my coral, inverts, and fish seem to be doing fine. I hope nothing happens because of this :( Right now I have the powerhead in there, to keep the water circulating. Do you think I will be good over the weekend with only this? The closest LFS is 90miles away and I really dont want to have to make the trip, and I am not even sure they have pumps.
Email me sites with reasonable priced return pumps if you know of any.

Get a GFCI plug installed in the wall where you plug in the tank equipment.
Looks like you could replace the stock pump with a Maxijet 1200. No *****, Pet Supplies PLus or anything like that close by?

No, I live in a town of 8,000 ppl. The biggest store we have is a walmart. I'm not even going to try and look there. And, yes, I was just thinking about geting one of those the other day. Should have done it earlyer. Funny thing is, the pump still works, it just makes the water electric. What if I let the pump dry out, and wrap the split part with electric tape? Do you think that may fix it? I would test it in fresh water of course, and not on my tank. Dam, that potentially means I may get shocked again. grrr :(

Those are absolutely beautiful!
On the pump, I would not trust the electrical tape to water proof the break myself. Walmart may in fact have the Maxijet. Give them a call ask for the pet department.

my best friend emily finally tore down her tank. She hooked it up for me. I payed a fraction of what she had to pay originally, and when she got them there was only about 10-15 heads. Now there is 40+.

I'm going to frag them eventually,they spread like crazy. I've been jealous of them ever since she had them, and now they are mine!!!
