I'm only writing this to gain entry to the Hanna alkalinity tester give away.

Hopefully this will be my last tank.

Should arrive within a month.

4 3 mp40 mobius UPDATE 4/10/24

2 360x. 2 AP9X UPDATE 4/10/24
2 Jebao DCW SINE DC Controllable Water Pump (DCW-5000), white/red
1 Jebao doser but might upgrade it because I have to reprogram it every time power is restarted
1 Octo Elite 220s - A monster skimmer donated by a friend
2 Smart power strip - KASA. 2 DJ POWER STRIP UPDATE 4/10
2 heat controllers - Inkbird
2 - 3 titanium heaters

I'm going to forego the Apex and will sell it with the IM 100ext, emerald 39, rsk600.

Have a 36w UV will probably add it.

Going to start with new sand and a few rocks from current tank. Too many bristle worms in current tank.

Can't wait to see this tank!

Which Jebao doser do you have? I have some 4 doser wifi one's that I have yet to setup and have heard some bad things about when power goes out (losing programming and/or dosing a random amount). Trying to get the correct info before I set these up for life support.

For what it's worth, I ran a Jabao doser (4 channel non-wifi version) for 4+ years without any issues. I finally replaced it when I observed what appeared to be a power supply issue, the LED's would flicker when it dosed and the motors seemed underpowered and unable to deliver the full dose. I decided to replace it with a Red Sea Reef Dose, which was a lot pricier, and I'm hoping will last longer. Time will tell as I've only had the red sea unit a few months.

My wifi jebao doser (MDQ-4.4) has gone through multiple power outages and hasnt nuked my tank (knocking on wood just in case).

There is a battery in the non-wifi versions. Losing power with a dead battery will lose the programming. It's easy to test...just set the time, unplug, wait for a minute and then plug it back in to see if the time is still correct. Maybe wifi versions have a battery?

Delivery company almost broke the tank. Had to yell STOP!!! While my friend snap the carelessness. Guy was rushing me...didn't want me to inspect the tank. WTH???

Nightmare fuel. Jeez. Is the tank okay?

It's fine thanks.

@IOnceWasLegend when you assemble the stand, the bars are 6-6.25" apart. Took me 20 minutes to play with the measurement to get them to look evenly spaced

.

 

[Kensington Reefer]

Yikes!!
good thing you got that picture
and would alert the shipper of that carelessness

 

[popper]

I thought these are bio ceramic balls but they're fiber balls that need monthly replacement. Going to replace with better filter media.

Bad ass skimmer.

Digging the cord cord management hook.

Huge return section. Room for 4 more return pumps.

 

[IOnceWasLegend]

Out of curiosity, when did you order this?

 

[popper]

That's a 1" emergency drain and the hole is a 3/4" return. I'm going to drill a 3/4" hole for two return.

Nice! Let me know how that goes, since I'm going to do something very similar.

Here's hoping; but mine was ordered 1/24/23. So hopefully by the end of next month.

Man. That delivery guy didn’t give a F. Super sketchy. Glad it worked out.
