EPIC Tank Crash Recovery 🤯 675 Gallon SPS Tank!!

- Vic visits Jason who has a beautiful 675 gallon SPS dominant aquarium. His tank crashed a while back causing him to lose 90% of his corals. He recently started building his aquarium back up and it is now a thriving reef tank. Multiple acropora frags has grown into huge coral colonies. What impresses Vic the most is the amount of coloration the corals are displaying and how Jason was able to make such an amazing comeback with the tank.

I like his approach, I think that approach comes with years of experience!
Jason is a coral seller as well - he was at Reefapalooza.
Nice guy, great corals.
He had some kind of lighting issue where the blues wouldn't come on so it was hard to tell what his acros looked like - but I bought one anyway, and it looks great.
Later I saw a RAP recap video where his blues were on, I wish I had bought more - they looked fantastic.
thank you!
I agree. His corals were amazing and your viewing thing was awesome. Next time I'm going to him first before I spend all my money😂
@@ttvmas4273 thank you for the kind words
He's awesome and killin it with his tank! Thank you for watching!
West Coast never has a chance on these Caspar sightings- unless you wake up at dawn,don’t even go to the bathroom, don’t let the dog out, but rush to your phone first! LoL 😂
Beautiful tank though
Always great content! I can listen to you talk all day about reef aquariums. Beautiful tank as well
There's always something new to see and learn!! Thank you for watching our videos!!
Another great tank and video thank you 🙏🏼 for sharing
Appreciate you watching!!!
I had Vermidid snails bad!! And I introduced a ton of bumblebee snails and stopped broadcast feeding and the amount of vermidid snails has dropped like 90+%
I still remember an old video you make years ago with some really nice mdoka white lips
@@elementsoflife000 - That was a long time ago. They are my favorite freshwater fish and if I ever get back into freshwater I want to do a huge Mdoka White Lip species tank. I think that would look cool. But I am loving the reef hobby.
That's pretty awesome!!
@@WorldWideCorals - When I was feeding the corals I noticed that the vermidid snails with secrete a mucus and after the population exploded and I did research, the feeding of the corals with all the powered food caused them to do that.
Nice tank tour Vic. Even as Jason keeps his ALK at 6.5 his corals are healthy and colorful.
Pretty cool! Comes down to consistency!!
@@WorldWideCorals 💯% agreed
Thanks Vic….. I’m loving these tank tours and seeing the different ways people run a very successful tank. DKH at 6.5 and his tank looks like that! Amazing! Not something I’d be trying!😂
it is a little riskier, not a lot of margin for error on the low side :)
Appreciate you watching!!
Loving these vidoes . Amazing tankkkkk
Thank you so much!
thank you!
@@jasonpatisonHello. Great tank. Love to get a piece of your Radioactive acropora. What store/coral farm do you have?
Thanks
Gorgeous Tank
He's killin it!! What's your favorite part about the tank?
Thank you!
Great tank Jason, wow those colours are really popping 👌🏼 I trick for vermidid snails was bubble bee snails, stop broadcast feeding for a month & starter coral snowing the tank & the population dropped , I have a couple tiny ones left but not annoying any corals & when I see they do I get a dentist tooth stick in there & brake them up & the tangs & angels go mad for any flesh from them .
Thank you and thanks for the tip!
Awesome tip!! Thank you for watching!
Natural sea water 6.5 dkh. I been running the same for years.
my little fluval 13.5 gallon evo runs 6.5dkh and the corals love it
Awesome to hear!! What type of corals do you like?
Another awesome tank. It’s important to have a power backup generator to keep the tank going while the power is out. Especially in areas that are threatened by hurricanes and winter storms.
We agree! Always better to be safe first!
thank you, I actually had one but I couldn't get it started, lesson learned, always double check equipment each season

10:27 casper - hi from the UK
Nice tank
thank you :)
beautiful tank
Thank you!
Thank you!
Awesome tank vic!! Everyday I learn something new! I was in reef a palooza DFW and I had the pleasure of meeting u, tks for share all these videos with us
Glad you are learning!! thank you so much for watching!
Make me offers I can't refuse!! Lol 🙌🔥👏
Amazing Tank!! I think I need an upgrade. LOL
thank you!
haha! What size are you thinking?? Thank you for watching!
I'd have to bet that he's a retired field grade. Sweet tank, good tour!
Thank you!! Appreciate you watching!
Always excusing you beautiful voice, no need Sir, your #1
I’ve been watching your channel for few months now. Love the show and knowledge but I still have no idea what casper is 😢 If you can please share some info regarding casper maybe i’ll be able to spot it next 😂
Casper is our white 'yellow tang'. Also our mascot! You can search him up here on youtube or even find forums of him on google :)

Nice tank ...I had an issue with verminted snails also ..I got a baby cowfish who wiped them out .never seen him eat coral either
Excellent!
Thank you!
Thank you and interesting about the cow fish

For bubble algae , get a juvenile vlamingi tang , smaller sized especially juvenile can go into most of the nook and cranny of the reef scape .
Nice suggestion!! Thank you for watching!!
I've had good luck with naso tangs eating bubble algae as well.
thanks for the idea, I'll look into that
I run mine at 7.5 and have higher nitrates like him. I feed strictly frozen foods no pellets at all.
Sounds like a good approach!
10:27!!
the outdoor sun light controls the numbers
Extremely nice Aquarium can I ask what would the dimensions be on the tank in feet and inches please and thank
Center of the tank around 10:28 during the giant sailfin story
How could I get a frag of that toxic green acro 😻😻😻
I don’t think he’s following that tank too closely because there is no way he’s growing corals at 6.5. I run my calcium reactor at 6.5 so that should tell you something. If he wants a really nice tank, bump it up to 8dkh and calibrate that ph probe Mr 8.6 😂. Beautiful set up - love it! Happy reefing 👍🏻🍻🤛🏻
I believe it I’ve always ran my tanks on low alk for many years now even all the way down to 5.5dkh on my old full blown high end sps system I find it’s easier on corals since natural seawater is similarly low in the 6 and 7 range
man! i'd love to have his light schedule, i've spent 3 months with 4 radeon xr30 pros and i cant get the lighting correct. may just not be understanding the different spectrums. i think that's my last real step. everything else is top of the line. equipment wise, levels are sitting at recommended. thinking my lighting is the issue for lack of growth in coral.
Hello, I run deep blue and UV for 12 hours a day at 100%, two hours after turn on they ramp up to 30% green, 30% red, 30% white and all other channels at 100%, they stay at that intensity for about 5 hours then ramp back down to blue and uv for 2 hours before turning off
@@jasonpatison thanks for the reply! what are you running kelvin at?
@@Six-rp6vx no problem, I don't know what the Kelvin ends up being with those percentages, my guess would be somewhere around 14k, the PAR is 400-550 at the top of my rocks, 200-300 around the bottom
So a total of 9 hours 100% intensity with 1.5 hr Ramps up and down?
I consistently dont do water changes or test 😂
Bumblebee snail will sort out the vermit snails. Cleared my 800 liter tank of them a couple of year ago and haven't notice them come back.
good to know, thanks!
That's awesome!! Appreciate you watching and giving the tip!
Couldn’t that high ph come from the 2 huge skimmers lol
Definitely contributing, but I've always run oversized or multiple skimmers on my systems and I usually battle low ph due to all the calcium reactor effluent
Who built the tank 😮
I always accidentally dose more all for reef and my alkalinity reaches 14.5 😂 but alaways get away by not killing any of my corals except my two torches in the past.
Same happened to me. Seems like AFR isn’t deadly when over dosed.
@@reefingwithjggraciano9167 but one thing is that all the corals are not fully open until day by day alkalinity stabilises.
Ouch!! Gotta be careful! We'd say alkalinity and phosphates are usually the most important and should be handled carefully
:)
Casper is at 10:27 when talking about giant sailfin tang
Even when people tell you what point Casper is visible I still cannot see it, I think WWC is taking advantage with people with poor vision, LOL. Maybe the challenge should be what kind of hat is he wearing.
🤣🤣🤣
Same
What are the dimensions of this tank !??
Great video love this channel. The music playing in the background while you are talking is annoying though
Thank you for watching and we appreciate the feedback!

Please email contact@worldwidecorals.com :)
i’m gonna say the 2 skimmers are keeping his pH in that 8.6 range
Definitely helps but I’ve always run multiple and/or oversized skimmers and I’ve always battled low PH
Does "tank crash" just mean some kind of generic die-off that can be caused by anything, or is there a very specific meaning behind "tank crash" ?
it's become a general term when something major goes wrong with the tank and mass die-off occurs
Iearned u don't need all the special equipment to running saltwater aquariums. I have 90 gallons Aquarium water is so clear running year and 7 month s. My 150 gallon reef gave me so much trubble tear it down had so many people this time it's running 10 months the water cemetery and water is so amazing clear I know if I work at it I know I can get it running right I have over top fitter s is getting filtration system is 240 gallon canerster filter system plus 4 hang on fitter s. My coral s starting to grow . Even though had what ever problem I had I watched the coral s I let them tell what is going on . Better they get more improvement s and the first as so happy once I got alge stage growing 9 months late then I knew I was getting closer to the end. I add lawn mower blenly he's doing great job and other clean up crew . It's nice to have coral dealer met on Facebook Market place he helped me out but he said not all Aquarium s saltwater are the same. I stopped water changes change out light and heater after that wow. Small change s is key u don't need to use chems . Just let it do it own thing
Great to hear your tank is doing good! We agree, taking small changes and keeping it simple helps a lot!

2 Skimmers higher ph?
Yes, by increasing oxygen and removing CO2, especially if you hook it up to a C02 scrubber or run the air intake, outside.
Ph 8.4 6.5 dkh?
Yes that is correct, though the alk is usually closer to 7 than it is 6.5, 6.5-7 is my acceptable range
10:27
I’m always third 😞
Casper infont of glass
100 gallon water changes every two weeks😮Also the things you can do with a 675 gallon vs a 30 gallon are oceans apart.
I don’t see it at 10:27
I have stopped the video and went through the whole frame😢
He's really good at hiding ;)
No offense, but is this really the first time you’ve heard bumblebee snails (may) eat vermitid snails?
Or was that a joke…
I’ve been hearing/reading that for years… and tried it too
I wasn’t joking, I just recently heard about it and I’ve been in the hobby for 25+ years
