Hi, don’t you think your tank is too small for a sohal tang?

Hmm is quite okay...ideally nope.


Tang police will come after me... But at this point of time... I can't get any thing from the tang.. can't sell but yet need to decom big tank... So put in first

Due to the tank size, I strongly don't think it will grow any bigger.. so far no fights or anything bcos all my lifestock has been with each other for almost 2 years plus

Was worried that the RBM will stn and die after it was pushed off the rock and landed on the sand bed... But it recovered really well

I buy a small 2 head torch coral after a long time after my old torch die off... Love the looks of the torch and will be looking forward to adding one or two more after CB ends...13937a856a0a522368e6d15cc8f199eb.jpg7d2f84777c9397aa970766df57c74b76.jpg78d3e07376dec240b15f423fbe4b91dc.jpg

Did water test yesterday


No3 - 6ppm
Po4 - 39ppb
Mg -1200
Cal - 340
P - 380
Kh - 8.5dkh

I just did a test yesterday and I notice that my mg and cal levels are low... Thus I manually dose in mg and cal.

After dosing in cal and mg, I notice my kh drop from 8.5 to 7.8dkh..

I believe it is to be a balancing of the ionic particles..

So I will observe further and make changes if needed..

This alkatronic has been an important part of my tank setup...

With it and apex.. it has help to control and ensure that the dkh is not out of swing...

Right now I am trying to slowly reduce the swings... By fine-tuning the hours the co2 runs and I can safely say when the tank is stable... I roughly know how much dkh is consumed each day...

So let's see how it goes from here...

It has been almost 5 days since I have clean my tank wall with the h2o2 and I haven got to clean the wall surface since then...


It is really a good experiment which I will use in future for tank maintenance

So far running the nyos 160 after so long, it has been running great and I also run ozone with it...

It has been skimming really dark skimmate out of it... Really smells but good for the system removal :)


I am able to get almost 400 average orp on a daily basis... Which mostly translate into clear water... But just have to take note of the amount of ozone in the room and system :) cannot OD...

Running the clarisea has been a lifesaver to the tank and a space saver too...

Able to ensure all the particles are removed without having to worry about changing out filter wool or filter socks (those r pain in the ass at times)..

It has been running great and any problem I have had... RD has been a great support in many ways..

Thinking of adding in a neck cleaner like what Leon has done... Hopefully can find a good one and a good fit... Or maybe 3d print one... Who knows :)c61495775f328ab72d684c32b1fb978b.jpg

Running my co2 solenoid via a Carbon Doser has been a easy plug and play and play around with setting and values system... Enabling me to fine-tune the amount of co2 going in and without any worries that over time I need to retune it...

Many thanks to RMS for getting this for me not sure how they manage to get their hands on a limited few... Save me lots of time adjusting

actually the sailfin was long gone...gave it away....

i actually have another tang which is the Maculiceps Tang and it has been holding its ground most of the time...but still lost out time to time...and will see battle scar on the body.... so far both tangs have coped well with the change in system

ah.. i’m assuming you added the maculiceps after adding the sohal? i’m thinking of adding a sohal as the last fish in my system. ideally a 4” one. currently have a blue tang, yellow tang and kole tang in there all around 3” with a 9” angel. so i hope it won’t be too aggressive

Yes I added it after... But it was a hard week to go by... Haha had to try to ensure lesser fighting, manage to catch both the sailfin and sohal.. then let the maculiceps roam.. then sohal went back in.. it was world war 3... After a week... Things settled down...

them both being acanthurus species prolly made it harder too.. but good that ultimately it worked out more or less. i’m hoping my annularis angel keeps the sohal in check when i eventually add one to my system
