Guys, thanks for the nice words, I am glad you guys enjoy the photography and the tank.
Steven0000, I will keep that in mind. I do have the PH turned down all the way so there's isn't much strong suction.
Do you guys think it will be too cramped if I add a sixline wrass? Bioloading is fine currently. 0 everything.

I think it would be on the edge. I wouldnt do it myself because of the seahorse so slow to eat, the sixline might gobble it up before he gets there. but thats just me. love the photography(again)=). How much was the camera???700$ im thinking??Keep us updated.

Steve, that's what I was thinking too. Some people said their sixline is a bit of a bully. My mandarin can be quite competitive with the frozen mysis, she pecks the seahorse if the seahorse takes the piece she's been eyeing.
I shoot with a 10D and a 180mm macro lens, so actually, it's a bit more than $700
, but you are not far off. The 10D is dirty cheap these days, considering it's 2 generations out of date. Mine's falling apart with all the use, one day it will get upgraded

All I can say is "that is one of the most gorgeous small tanks i've seen". You really know how to aquascape! Also your coral selection and pictures are amazing. How many gallons is that?

Timothy: The key to success with a Mandarin fish is not the size of the tank, but what the mandarin is eating. Mine is fed frozen mysis twice a day, and she eats with it relish. When I just purchased her, she was on frozen brine (enriched with spirulina), but wasn't exactly "pigging out". I switched her to mysis after I got the seahorse. I eventually realised that the the little guy will only take mysis that's been freshly defrosted, i.e. if it's been through the defrost/freeze process more than once, then she just spit i back out. Having a seahorse (captive bred, also on frozen) and a Tubastraea really helps, because my mysis turn-over is now very high, so everyone gets fresh food everyday.
