My decision on the Mandarin

I have listened/read all of what you people have had to say and have decided to wait on getting that Mandarin. I agree that I have a high failure chance and that's made worse by the fact that I probally won't have time for one next year seeing as how it will be my senior year. Colorguard takes a lot of my time so waiting until I can get a bigger tank and possibly more time is a good idea. So I'm going to wait

 

smart decision. For you and the fish!

 

and it'll give me time to gain more experience as well

 

Good for you reefgirl

 

Good job making the responsible choice

 

Personally, I would have respected your decision either way. You didn't appear to be looking for people to tell you what you wanted to hear. Good for you!
