Looks good Maria! Do you have any Full tank shots of your tank? Everything looks quite healthy :)
BTW- This is JMO, but the plants look a bit unatural in your tank. Have you considered ever getting some live calerpa to grow in your tank?

yes, the fake plants do look kind of bad. what do you suggest? are live plants hard to keep alive in sw tanks?

I would love to see a full view of the tank

I like your maroon clown, everyone looks happy. How hard has it been so far to keep the mandarin? I've heard that they can be exceptionally difficult fish.

Mandarins are fairly hardy, however they starve to death most of the time. They feed exculsivly on copepods and are not recommended for tanks that havent been established a year and dont have a good population of pods.
