People 18 and under post an FTS
Ok, I'm tired of the people in the what don't you like about this hobby saying kids are bad reefers. So show them what your tank looks like.
Heres mine, It's a 90g LPS dominated reef, that will be replaced by my new 225 gallon aquarium soon.  It's not the greatest pic, but shows that I can keep a successful tank on my own. |

I am 28 but I am curious who told you kids are bad reefers I have several friends under 18 that are excellent reefers... Don't let age discourage you thats just a bunch of bull crud...

Great shot- love the lobo! I started fishkeeping when I was 10, saltwater when I was 13. 25 now, so I wont post any pics on this one, but Id love to see what others are doing.

Well, photobucket isn't up right now so I can't post a pic of mine. I guess that gives me time to clean the glass and borrow my bros wide angle,

Nevermind, found my other post with that pic, so here you go. Taken with a 28-200mm, so I can only catch this much from a distance.

Looks good, never heard of people under 18 being bad reefers, i have heard of younger reefers (parents help them) with nanos and all.

You go to the dr's office or dentist and they ask you where your mommy is? People your own age don't want to date you because they think your 15. 15 year olds want to date you because they think you are their age. People cart you at bars and R rated movies. People think your a freshmen in HS when your a junior in college! Cops think you have a fake ID and you're to young to be driving. TRUST ME, it's not so great! |

OOPS! I can take care of a reef tank well, but I still double post sometimes.

ahhh, moving away from home is when I learned how expensive the hobby really was....
Lobster, let me know if you need any advice for moving tanks, I have traveled many miles with coolers in the back of my car, from virginia to south carolina.... and I know how bumpy those carolina roads can be at times. And there is no dub like the mdub. ha =P |

My parents house is 7 hours away from the apartment in NC. Tomorrow will be the second trip down, with all the corals and fish. I have a thread on it here: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...readid=1158048
