Hello Everyone!

Long time no talk its been over a year now in this hobby and nothing had changed Im still severely addicted but worse now. I currently run a mini live coral business while still in school and I have some great updates for the 22 gallon mixed reef. The over all coral hustle has been getting way better I built a clientele and finally quit my old barista job which I hated. Its amazing what this hobby has done for me its paid for trips for me and my gf plus bills. I go by a completely different name selling as I like to keep my identity private. Im also an employee under coral exotic I travel to shows with him including reefa palooza he’s taught me more about the business plus understanding true taste in corals. Alright back to the 22 gallon mixed reef. Ive made it a goal to make my tank filled to the brim with high end pieces only as im surrounded by it quite often. I was battling with dinos the first 3-4 months of having this tank but ive FINALLY beat it and have balanced my nutrients. I still have some more room to fit more corals but looking to upgrade to a 180-200 gallon tank 😀. I also upgraded my lights to 2 A8se ii max as I want even better par distribution. Another upgrade Id like to mention is I finally got a full neptunes system to really dial in this tank. I am also planning on getting 36 inch light bars too to fully max out my lighting. Thank you guys for tuning in my build Ill keep updated with more. If you are interested in any of my pieces feel free to reach out to me on facebook or instagram Jb corals! Enjoy.
