Glass Cages 180 & 165 dual tank build

[Qwknbad]

Added a UPS to the tank. I have a whole home generator, so this is to carry the tank until it kicks on. If the heaters are running this only gives me 4 minutes. If the heaters are off, I get 15 minutes. Luckily the generator is usually on in a minute.

A foxface
A Niger trigger
A porcupine puffer.

Update on the Fowlr.
Fish list is as follows:
Niger trigger
pair of clowns
yellow damsel
Scopas tang
Foxface
Porcupine puffer
Emperor angel (Biota captive bred)

The puffer and trigger show no interest in hermit crabs or snails ( I keep them fed well), so looks like I can run a cleanup crew in the tank. I pulled a coralline algae covered snail out of the reef and threw him in to spread some coralline around, I'm starting to see some pop up. The soft corals seem to be doing fine. Parameters are in line with the reef tank, both tanks pretty much run the same parameters, which is surprising with the messy puffer. This may end up being a 2nd reef tank. I'm sure when the angel gets bigger he may go after some corals, but I plan to take some overgrowth from the reef and see what grows and makes it.
