I have a copperband and one spot in a 75 tank. Its is to small. I'm putting up a new 120 as we seak. Not much better, just a little taller and 6 inches more front to back. Sometimes copperbands don't make it very long. Hard to get them eating. If you want coral nix the flame. A mandarin needs a mature tank with a sump full of copepods or you have to constantly buy them to feed it. Also the copperband is timid and will limit future tank mates. Just my 2 pennies

Put your power heads at the top of the tank pointing up. This will create gas exchange.

Isn’t this what the bubblers are for? bare with me I’m only about 3 months into this on my 20 gal
Bubblers are fresh water. Not much in fresh water transfer to salt. Water tension at the top being broken by flow is the preferred way

Gotchu. It’s hard I’ve heard so many mixed answers lol
Yeah they get huge. Trust me it will outgrow your tank in a month. I kept a tiny baby in my 70 as a grow out tank but she outgrew it so fast! My current one is huge! He is bigger than my naso tang next to him in the picture
