Mandarins in a 150g?

[Hellion179]

I wanted to ask everyones opinions on getting a pair of mandarins for my tank. It's been setup for a year now. It's a mixed reef with approximately 400 lbs of live rock in the display. I also have a small fuge in the sump that I shake out and cut back every two weeks.

At night if I hit it with a light I can see little pods scattering around..and in the filter cloth for the sump(which I change weekly) there are always a mess of them in there.

Just wondering if it's likely they'd make it. Such beautiful fish....

Oh and for fish: pair of small clowns, tomini tang(4"), magnificent foxface(6"), neon dottyback, and a coral beauty.

Should be fine. What I'd like to know is how you fit 400lbs of rock in the display.

My thoughts exactly!
But I agree, should be fine, I have a pair in my 150g w/ about "half that amount of rock"...

I'd like to see a pic of this!

FWIW; I have a mandy pair in my 150 gal. Here is a pic:

lol, I'm estimating. It could be more or a little less. I did my aquascaping differently than most. It's a rock wall, so it's from the ground up to about the top 1/4 of the tank. I had a 50g with 150# of rock too..that was awesome looking until I moved into the bigger tank.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll go ahead and move ahead then. I'll try to post a pic of my tank tomorrow. Kind of ashamed. Had it a year and I have just now started to do stuff with it.
