Hi Everyone,

My name is Joe and I live in Maryland. I’ve been doing reef tanks for more than 20 years, mainly on the cheap, though I have the nicest setup now that I’ve ever had. I have an 80gal bowfront (upgrade from an 8yo 30gal in March of this year), a 40gal breeder that started as a fowlr and has been a reef about 3 years, and a 32.5gal that’s new and will be a frag tank. I attached a pic of each.

Joe
