3.

I added a few new corals and will add some pictures but i thought a list would be better.

• Purple Torch
• Green Tip Hammer
• Ultra Bubble Tip Anemone
• Dendros
• Green Micromussa
• Fire and Ice Blastomussa
• Mardi Gras Bounce Mushroom
• Mahui Wowiie Mushroom
• Duncan Colony
• Red Bowerbankii

Well after i beat Dinos it was all good and dandy until Green ****** Cyano came through.... Now this is something im truly not familiar with it so i asked around and did some research.

Turns out the same method i used to beat dinos could work on green cyano so thats what im doing. The dirty method hahah or LARM (Lazy A** Reefer Method). If this doesnt work i will try chemiclean or something similar.

5.
Par Readings were surprisingly GREAT!! remember i use Viparspectra lights. The even spread was the most surprising thing i got out of it. The picture below shows what my par looks like now.

6.

I started making my own food... i got tired of paying so much for frozen food and always fighting phosphates.
i will post the full recipe in a future update.


If you read until the end... THANK YOU!! i cant believe you put up with my rambling and my average a** reef build. Id appreciate a follow on IG and Youtube @305_reefer.

Looking good brother!

enjoyed reading thru your build! Looking good dude! I started in March 2020 and I think I've gone waaaaaaaay too fast....check my build out if you get a chance. I think i may be battling some green cyano now too. I'm gonna try your "LARA" method

Keep up the good work and def following!

Thank you!! You’re the MVP for making it this far Hahahah I’m going to check out your build right now! Make sure if you follow the LARM lol you do syphon the sand through a sock to get rid of the algae and detritus build up (get a mesh sock it makes cleaning it much easier therefore you’re more likely to do it)
