that manderine was awsome! he was always fat and i did nothing special. the tank had a high pod content but he did eat pellets! swear to you! any red pellets that fell he hit. he (had long dorsal spike) did when i upgraded years later...i was extreamly upset.

anemones did well also. they did always eventually ran away /around tank to death...but all had a good 3 month period of total happiness. tank was well over stocked! i learned from that one for sure. but it was amazing how things did pbalance for periods. i had 2 clowns goby ...wrasse...maybe one more fish but lots of inverts and corals. i used a 19watt coralife pc with two powerheads that created a high flow envirnment.

wow...that tank was nuts! a crazy set up that did surprizingly well...but due to my inexperience with nano's i pushed its limits and caused issues...it recovered each time (again amazingly) . i upgraded to a 30 and left the 10 gallon (yeah that was a ten gallon tank) dissassembled.
