70g is definately big enough for a Mandarin.. I do agree though that fact other pod dependent fish it would be tougher.
I have a mandarin in a 20... Doing exceptionally well. Hob fuge does not have return pumps but pipe drain at the end. She is eating all the time.
Chromis and dottys.. Aggressive. Damsels.. Aggressive. Your azure damsel will most likely give any new additions the gears. Mine was such a biotch it even beat other damsels up.
Clowns. Small tang. Dwarf angels. Smaller wrasse as well.
I believe any fish could jump if frightened or chased.
I would not close the top but perhaps build a canopy with higher sides and open top.
I built my top about 200mm tall all sides. Hides my lights as well as keeps jumpers in.
Blennies are super cool too. I have a tailspot and he is awesome.
