330 Tank thread.

[Jasonak]

So this a quick start to my tank page.
Its a 330 with a 90 sump.
I kind of neglected a bit last few years but got re invigorated this year and have made allot of changes.
Biggest being and most noticeable is hooking up a DOS to my apex. Man what a difference.
This should be cool as I sold off gave away all the large pieces of coral and have a ton of new frags. So will be cool to document there growth.

Current gear.

6 Jebao wavemakers OW and SOW style
2 Jebao cross flow---- (Removed these guys as they would bind up every couple months)
3 MP10
1 MP40
5 G5 radions
1 G6 radion
4 Viparspectra lights with home made diffusers
2 Reefbreeders V2 Added 10/07/24 Replaced two Viparspectra lights.
No skimmer as of about 08/01/24 Turned that are into a frag farm.

Yes the black boxes put out a ton of power. I like them. I have had good luck with them. But they are supplemented but the radions also... oh and forgot , I have T-5 s in the back lol need to update the gear part

 

[Jasonak]

Great looking coral!

 

[Jasonak]

Great looking coral!

Thank you! Majority of it comes from Battle corals. Adam is great guy to deal with has amazing stuff and always get ton of extras

 

[Jasonak]

This is my next big hurdle...any pointers on transferring everything from old apex to be under my new one? ??
Old one never stays online. It will be on a week then boop off.

This is my claim to fame for Halloween, Little late to post

The ‘horror-borealis’ of Halloween displays! The bright, spooky and shiny yard of the Shaws!

On the corner of 72nd Avenue and Arctic Boulevard is a nice, common two-story house. But during the month of October, it is the stuff of haunted pirates, goblins, red-eyed ravens, and zombie punk rockers, and that’s just the first look. Shelle and Jason Shaw have been adding to their Halloween...

[Jasonak]

[Jasonak]

Saw this little dude on are patio today.

 

[Jasonak]

SO hey just got back after 2 weeks in hawaii and didnt lose to much stuff but no PE extension Got to run some test sand see whats up. ALK was low at 7.2

 

[Jasonak]

Nothing was to out of whack other than the ALk being little low Cal 420 Nit 6.0 Mag 1200 I was getting some pretty good PH spikes up to 8.59 so maybe that was it.
Im shutting down dosing ALK during the day and it has stopped the spikes and actually reduced the PH swing greatly. Was going from 8.2-8.5 now its 8.4-8.5
Not sure about the long terms of shutting down the ALK during the day. I was not overly concerned about the PH swings just didnt like the HIGH ph spikes.
