I've been keeping reefs for quite awhile. If this is your first tank, this is going to be a tough lesson in biology.

This is my first dip back in after about 10 years but i've had many tanks in the past. My biggest was a 250. That was a much tougher lesson in what I can actually handle on my own haha.

@@PalmettoCoralCo. I think they were basically trying to say I was going to fail miserably...which I probably am, but I do have experience...which is why I know how to crash tanks lol

​@@PalmettoCoralCo.perfectly fine? Sixline and dragonet in a tank that looks like it was setup yesterday? Yeah both of them are dying, no doubt. Mayyyybe the sixline will accept pellets. The dragonet is dying though.

Stumbled across your channel mindlessly scrolling though my feed looking for something to watch. Happy to see another fellow reefer in the Charlotte area. Look forward to keeping up with your tank progress!

Good to meet another round here too! Maybe we'll run into each other in the real world sometime.

Might want to dose some pods for the mandarin since it's a newer tank

Those are my LFS too! Love going there to check out their corals

We are lucky to have them close by.

Nice setup, wish success on the tank.

Thanks. I hope so too after that first coral/fish bill haha

Fantastic

Adding a mandarin and 6 line to an IM25 that isn't mature... that 6line will eat all the pods and the mandarin will starve unless you have one trained on pellets or frozen. That mandarin looked to big to come from ORA. Keep us updated I'd like to see how that mandarin is doing. You can also try artic pods and feed a little everyday to the mandarin.

The mandarin died unfortunately and to be honest I think the six line is just a bully. He's killed a few other fish since then as well. But ya the tank was too young for the mandarin. RIP.

Some very basic research would have prevented these unnecessary deaths

Some of my local shops too! Great places ❤ Frogspawn doesnt take over. They grow like a tree to look big and bushy. But wont take over like xenia, gsp, and aiptasia would.

I have the same tank man!

Its a goodun! I've never had this low iron glass before this tank and its such a treat.

The 6 line will destroy them pods as well lol

Definitely did but still my favorite fish to date. I love his slitty little eyes.

You got no corelean alegae growth in the tank, doesn't even look cycled, and you are adding hard to keep fish?

Matching the car heater temp is dedicated 😂

Sps should be at the highest point in your tank if it’s a mixed reef and if your par is greater then 250 at the bottoms might want to bring that xr30 down to about 20% -30% on that shallow tank

The only sps I put higher up in the tank bleached on me...all others are doing well. Jeez.

That poor lil mandarin. Hope it survives. Playing hunger games by adding that six line and a mandarin to a fresh tank. I’m honestly surprised that store sold you those without a warning. Guess they just want your money.

6 line wrasse needs at least 100 gallons an the Mandarin will starve in such a tank 😢

Unfortunately mandarin died a long time ago but six line has lasted this whole time. I've had many of them in small tanks.
