@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.

@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.

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. 😁

Hey there would you say a FOWLR tank is much easier than a reef? What I’m thinking is starting off with a FOWLR and later upgrading to a softies reef at some point down the line. Still new to this. Don’t believe softies really need dosing and are that strict on nitrate levels right? Only difference is lighting compared to a FOWLR.
@WRASSEREEFCHANNEL20 күн бұрын
@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. 😁

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.

Do you have a Soft Start on the AC unit? With an LRA of 144, I'm shocked it didn't pop the generator circuit breaker. The Duromax XP13000 only outputs a little over 41 running AMP's, the initial startup on your AC is 144 AMP's! I have the same generator and a 3.5 ton AC unit. It pops the breaker on AC startup. The LRA on my condenser is 112. I'm installing a Micro-Air Soft Start that should bring the initial in rush of current down to 35-40 AMP's on startup.

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.
