@MrMsm333 Mystery Wrasse is no problem with any other wrasses or other fish. I haven't had a radient Wrasse in over 5 years. I left he lid off a few minutes and he jumped unfortunately.

@@gregorymowens1697 My tank is 220 gallons.....6 ft long....24 inches wide...24.5 inches deep. I feed 1 cube regular mysis, 1 cube spiralina mysis, and 1 cube reef caviar.

@@Simple_Reef Thank you! I keep my alk 9.5

@@Jzzo Thank you so much! 😁

@IgorAlves-xb4gs My yellow tail tamaran is still in there. He is the bully...lol. I have never had a Red Coris kill other wrasses. I have raised a few from juvi to adult.

@joshuacohen2735 Thank you so much! 😁

@tonycloseukreef3799 Thanks! Carpets over here aren't that cheap especially Red. Those are the most expensive. Your water quality has to be pretty good, with good water movement also! 😄

@yuhao5156 It's not safe, it's a gamble, but I know what corals t h ey will eat or won't eat.

@@queencityreefs Thank you! 😁

@@tonycloseukreef3799 Thank you!!! ❤️

@gregorymowens1697 I stay away from certain corals because of my angels. Some occasionally nip, but no real damage. If the Sohol is your only tang, and your tank is 6ft long he will probably be ok for awhile, as long as you don't have to many other fish. They are very active and personable, but need a lot of room to swim.

👍🏼

Can you run through your wrasse stock list?

@justinfournier6721 Sure..currently I have a Earmuff, Male Melegris Leopard Wrasse, Male Vermiculated Leopard Wrasse, Yellow Tail Tamaran, Super Male Mystery Wrasse, and Red Coris Wrasse. I lost multiple wrasses in a tank leak in November. These are the ones i saved. I haven't replaced the ones I lost yet.

@@Kuhnie2552 Thank you!!!! 😁

@gregorymowens1697 Keeping you Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium all stable, and within range. Also phytoplankton and Reef Energy AB, plus make sure your trace elements are good. Weekly 20% water changes that never get missed help also. With corals and anemones water stability is more important than chasing Nitrates and all of that in my opinion. I rarely test Nitrates or Phosphates anymore. Also no salinity fluctuations....I always keep mine at 1.025.

👍🏼

@gregorymowens1697 They pick here and there, but cause no real damage. I have to be careful when choosing corals though. No Acans or any fleshy corals.

Are they safe either zoas, lathers, heliofungias, monti and green slimers?

@@gregorymowens1697 Montis and Green Slimer Acro....most of the time, not zoas, an I am not sure about heliofungias or leathers because I don't have any.

@queencityreefs Hi! The only one I saw him peck at and actually eat it also was a new red elegance coral, I just put it in the tank, it wasn't even fully opened yet. He ate the whole thing in less than a day. I have large green elegance corals and he never touched them. He never touched anything else eaither. All my corals I have to pick carefully because of my five angels....lol. I had to remove all fleshy acans etc.

@brandonw694 Thank you! I will do a good video on that soon. I have had the Sohol tang about 5 years. He is beautiful and likes to be petted...lol..he killed my blue hippo tang a few months ago. The purple however is aggressive himself, so the Sohol only chases him occasionally because the purple fights back. My Emperor runs the tank, so he does a pretty good job keeping the Sohol in check. The Sohol does the best job I have ever seen keeping the back wall clean of any algae. Definitely worth getting one, get one small like I did and raise him. 😁

@AbsoluteZero6714 I would definitely say a FOWLR is much easier than a reef set up. Upgrading later to leathers is a solid plan. You are correct with leathers you don't need to worry as much about Alkalinity and calcium, or even Nitrates. Leathers are much more forgiving of water quality than SPS and LPS. You have a great well thought out plan. 😁

@AbsoluteZero6714 Hi there! Actually in the Saltwater Fish Store I work in, he ate frozen mysis on day 1. He was so tiny, so I waited about a month and no one bought the little guy so I brought him home. It was a risk because I have 3 dwarf angels, and a large adult Emperor. So he eats what the rest of my fish which is Spirulina Mysis, regular Mysis, and V2O reef caviar (frozen fish eggs). Plus seaweed sheets twice a day with the rest of my fish. 😁

@Maximka1100 Thanks! Working in a fish store we get them in. I have never kept butterfly fish, but I think pearl scale butterflies are a great addition to a fish only set up. In our store they readily eat Mysis Shrimp. Live brine is great to get a picky one ready to accept frozen foods. 😁

@@tonycloseukreef3799 Thanks!!!! 😁

@@scottallan6770 Thank you! 😁

@UnMinutoViajando yeah totally scary! My biggest fear in this hobby! I love my new Planet Aquarium I got to replace it.

@moviefan4life166 Thank you so much! Yes I am very happy with it. I wasn't sold on a canopy at first, but I am glad I have it. I was used to rimless tanks for so long, but with the canopy you can't tell the difference! 😁

@queencityreefs Hi! Unfortunately the Sohol stressed him out so bad he quit eating. He was not tore up or anything, so I took him to the fish store where I work. He died a week later. They lived together for a few years. I was bummed!

@@WRASSEREEFCHANNEL so sorry to hear that.

@queencityreefs Thank you! Yeah I was bummed. I won't add any more tangs. Even though I work at a fish store and could get what I want, it isn't worth the risk. Plus I love my Sohol, he even likes to be petted....lol!

@@alexpellman8637 Absolutely.....I will do a video of that in the next week or so! 😄

@lukefham7138 Nope, I leave everything on. The only time I turn anything off, is when I add phytoplankton every other day and AB+...I turn the skimmer off for that.

@lukefham7138 I love the innovative Marine algae grazers over the suction cop kind. I feed 2 sheets in the morning and 2 sheets at night. I use the Omega one green seaweed sheets. It's the perfect size.

@@WRASSEREEFCHANNELdo you find that any of the larger fish are able to pull extra seaweed from the feeder than what’s just in the square they are biting at? What im meaning is can they pull off big sections at a time or is it pressed in hard enough that only small pieces come off?

@alexpellman8637 Yea sometimes they do...especially the Emperor or Sohol Tang. For the most part I love that algae grazer. I am not a fan of suction cups, IMO magnets are much better!

@tonycloseukreef3799 Thank you! As you can tell mine do to!!!! 😂

@amoosenamedgoose3723 Yep I had two....and yep I lost them both when my Red Sea Tank leaked. I won't get another though...my wrasses are getting to big...they love to eat cleaner shrimp!

@@WRASSEREEFCHANNEL I also have two. I want to get some wrasses but I am worried that they'll eat my shrimp. I currently have 2 Coris wrasse and a cleaner wrasse. I currently have an earmuff wrasse being held for observation. I am wanting to get a few leopard wrasses here in the near future.

@@amoosenamedgoose3723 Coris wrasses are more likely to eat shrimp than leopards in my experience. But shrimp and crabs are on the menu for most wrasses. I have no shrimp or crabs in the tank for that reason.

@@WRASSEREEFCHANNEL that's what I heard. I was worried about that. I had my shrimp before I had the wrasses. I got the wrasses when they were very small and my shrimp ha e doubled in size now. My wrasses are 4 inches long now and my shrimp are adult size now. They don't pay attention to them. I've had them together for almost 2 years now. So I'm not worried about them munching on them anymore. I keep them well fed as well.

@amoosenamedgoose3723 You might get lucky.....I feed well to but one day one or more of my wrasses ate my two large cleaner shrimp. I had them a couple of years too. I didn't replace them though....because now it will happen for sure!

@philliphall5198 I bet! I feel for you all in Houston or any Hurricane prone area!!!!

@qjumal5813 Thank you! I have Candy Canes, brain corals, torches, Hammers, frog spawn, Duncans, montis, gonis, chalices, and a few others.

@brandonw694 Hi there! I plan on doing a video in the near future on this exact topic. Great question! First off I feed all frozen food, and feed well. They get seaweed twice a day. I have 5 angels. Any fleshy corals like Acans, soft brain corals, Hammers are hit and miss, frog spawn are hit and miss. The rest he leaves a lone. It differs with each angel. My last angel was a Passer if you look at my older videos. He ate a lot of the corals I can now keep with my Emperor. I like fish more than coral, so it was worth the risk. Feeding good food and plenty of seaweed is a huge help IMO. Plus trial and error. Keep a eye out for a video in the future and I will go into it at length! 😁

@@darprov Thank you! 😁

@tonycloseukreef3799 Thanks! Absolutely I am planning to do one shortly! 😁

@fishstix1988 I love my algae scrubber. I will do a video on it. It doesn't bottom out your nutrients. It keeps the NO3 and PO4 in check and a manageable level. Definitely better than GFO reactors and other methods. Also keeps algae out of your display tank!

@@tonycloseukreef3799 Thank you! 😁

@ballejoreef4599 It reduces NO3 and PO4 a little, but it does a great job of keeping your water crystal clear, and any coral/nem chemical warfare that might happen to a minimum. I love that to, yep I just drop the bags into filter cups in my sump. For my 220 gallon tank I use 4 11oz containers of Chemipure Blue.

@@WRASSEREEFCHANNEL Cool thanks, i just ordered some and will give it a try.

@glub9075 Yeah that video is way old. I totally misspoke in that video. I have kept both the Coris Gaimard and Halichoeres Chrysus, I favor the Red Coris, I do respectfully disagree that the Red Coris is aggressive and destructive. In my opinion Thalasoma wrasses are much more aggressive. That is my experience, and of course every fish is different with their own personalities. So I personally refrain from using blanket statements about fish in this hobby, nothing is 100%. 😁

@@WRASSEREEFCHANNEL yeah the red coris wrasses are okay but some of the other ones from experience arent super friendly. I was just meaning like in comparison to halichoeres wrasses. In my 500 gallon I had a spottail coris wrasse and it would pick up rocks and drop them like a triggerfish so it had to be rehomed, I have had similar experiences prior with other wrasses in the same genus but the red coris from my experiences seems to be the most peaceful.

I sure can! I will be happy to do a video on it, and if you have specific questions for me let me know, and I will answer them for you! 😁

@@WRASSEREEFCHANNEL awesome! I heard some people says there’s chemical warfare when we put different anemones in a tank. Have you seen anything that likely linked to that, and do you run activated carbon to manage that? Also, could we have a tour on your sump? Thank you! 😀

@widiya7088 I have never had chemical warfare between bubble tips and carpet nems, but if the carpet would sting the bubble tip, the carpet would win for sure. Their sting is more potent than the bubble tips. Now in the past I had issues keeping condys, long tentacle, and bubble tips. Total chemical warfare there. That was years ago when I had a 80 gallon. As far as carbon I use Chemipure Blue, which is carbon with a ion exchange resin. I just posted a video with my sump view for ya, and you can see how i keep my nems! If you have any more questions, I will be happy to answer them! 😁

@@WRASSEREEFCHANNEL thank you, that’s really helpful! I’m planning to add RBTA in my tank, but was hesitant because I got a very happy carpet anemone settled for almost two years. Definitely will try on the chemipure blue👍🏻

@widiya7088 That is great! Please let me know how it goes! ❤️

Nope we don't have a soft start on our AC, last summer replaced both the furnace and AC at the same time. We have used it several times and it never popped the circuit breaker. It runs the whole house, most importantly the AC and my fish tank. No issues...and a whole lot cheaper than a Gernerax. We just had to hire a electrician to wire both electrical panels, because we run two 200 amp panels, but we only backfeed one panel.

​@@WRASSEREEFCHANNELWOW! With a Locked Rotor Amperage of 144 AMP's I'm surprised the generator breaker doesn't trip. It's only a momentary spike but still, it's over 3 times the rated generator amperage output!

@@js7447 Our new AC is a 5 ton unit.....so maybe that makes a difference?!

Wow is right! I would not have believed it if I hadn’t seen it. At 13000W peak capacity, the generator should only be able to supply about 54A. The 27.1 RLA means the unit draws 6500W to run. If max running watts is 10,500W, that leaves about 4000W to run everything else. However my understanding on these portable generators is to not exceed 80% of max running watts for prolonged periods (8400W) so that should leave about 1900W. You must be real happy to be able to run that AC!

@@FeedmeSeymore I am totally happy that runs the AC! Especially the fish tank! LOL!

Thank you! 😁

I know it! That's horrible! I hope his legs grow back for ya! There is a good chance they will! 😁

@@WRASSEREEFCHANNEL good to know, I’ve heard that too! His name is Patrick of course

Oh man! I know the feeling!

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you!
