Im betting that between the horses and the mandrine,that there aint NO pods.But the mandrine looks as healthy as a horse so all is good.
Awesome pics too.

Re: My First Reef Tank! Photos.. 46 gal Bow Front

The pics look nice and you got alot of positive comments, but......
This tank just isn't going to work. Where to begin. The tank is very new. I can tell by the algea growth and presence of diatoms. A mandarin should only be in a well established tank with lots and lots of pods. I doubt you have enough to keep it well fed and unless it's eating frozen, it won't last. The seahorse also eats pods, so it's competing with the mandarin. They are also very passive feeders and should be in a tank by themselves. Even if you get them on frozen, the other fish in the tank will aggressively go after the food and leave nothing for the seahorse. And the hippo doesn't belong in that small of a tank.

Sorry, I can't gloss over what I see as a tank destine to fail.
