okay everyone, i want to see some pics of the tanks of some of my fellow high schoolers out there.
there have been a few threads of this in the past, but as we all know, tanks get better (hopefully) and the crowd on this board comes and goes.
so go for it!!!!

here's some more, and one of my 46 fw. i keep both of the tanks because the rest of my family knows squat about fish, which is why im nervous about leaving for college

i pay for some of the stuff (when i have money), but my parents do pay for most of it. i usually get to go to the lfs to get 50-60 bucks worth of coral once a month (this is my allowance), but then again i do 100% of the maintanance and upkeep. its funny whenever i ask for something my parents always bring up that my tank is expensive, and that i "should be thankful to have a roof over my head and food on my plate". my response is usually "well you should be thankful that i dont do drugs and obey you."

Well thanks!! I had a 55gal and decided I wanted to upgrade I saved money for awhile and then found a 125gal on the famous aution site. I bought the complete setup tank, stand, canopy, sump, skimmer, lights, and fish for $1300, about a month ago. I had to get new substrate since they had cc. Most of the fish that came with it were'nt reef safe besides the naso. I added everything from my 55gal. And that's where I'm at now. I spend almost all of my $$$ on this hobby.
