Thinking of a 240, questions to big tank owners. .(sohal)

[Teremei]

I have a 125 reef 1 year old with DSB workin now. I just got a juvy Sohal tang and I've heard alot of bad things about them. But I've also talked to people who have had success.

He's a good citizen now, but he's only 4 1/2". The hippo and tomini could care less about him. But my exquisite wrasse is terrified of him and hasn't swam in the open for 2 days. I figured I'd ask about them specifically here, do you keep a sohal in your large tank? I'm going to keep him in the 125 for one year then upgrade.

Should I keep the Sohal when I upgrade to a 240 peninsula or should I give him to an even bigger home? Opinions?

(PS: You'll probably see me hanging around this section more often since I'm interested in "going big" too).

Eric.

I have a sohal in my 180 and he's awesome! Have had him for almost 2 years, and he is almost a foot long and thick! i have a large foxface, and a small clown, and he does not bother them at all. -- I will say that when he was in a friend's 90 for a week when i was moving my tank, he was terrorizing the other fish in his tank. But, in my 180 he is great. - Literally eats out of my hand.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I actually watched carls 150 gallon peninsula video at reefvideos.com and it inspired me to do a 240 peninsula when I upgrade. He had a sohal and many other tangs. That's what pushed me over the edge to get the little guy.

Any other experiences with them?

Bump. Others, share your experiences of sohal's please. Good or bad.
