Hi my name is Joe, I've been into aquariums since I was a kid. I live on the east coast Ohio hahaha (I know) I started a saltwater aquarium at 14 and I've been in and out of it through the years. I'm trying to start up a shallow frag tank much like the jbj 20 gallon shallow reef, I'm open to ideas and suggestions. I'm kinda in the toss up between metal halide, and led metal halide being my favorite. My book list Natural reef aquariums, Book of coral propagation two books that have greatly influenced my reef keeping. I have followed reef to reef on fb great community and I'm glad to be with you guys, and girls. Thank you.

Thank you every for the warm greeting. Shep I gotta say my clownfish hates them, he freaks out if I even light up a led in the room his tank is in. haha But for the shallow reef thing what I'm looking at is the Kessil 360w tuna blue.

*Welcome to Reef2Reef, jgoodjr !*I have to say I like the way corals color up under metal halide lighting,it also helps keeps the tank warm here in Oregon.
