:p I hope it works Sammy!! I wish that my parents bought me stuff too! I am 17 and I still live with my parents, but I have that whole, I want to be independent, so the only thing my parents bought me was the tanks and stuff, I buy what goes on the inside! Salt, do your parents buy you stuff? what size tank do you have?

HEY, it sounds like you all are ganging up on us old guys. I'm 39. My kids are as old as you guys. My kids are more interested in "dad" buying them a car than fish. STEVE

Try juggling buying reef stuff and studio stuff. Theres always something to get in both areas. I am 31 on 7/30 and wish I could be 16 again so I could invest in Microsoft. Then I wouldn't have to worry.

Wow Tobie, you sound like the dad I always wanted, my dad picked his job over my sister and I, tell your kid he is very lucky, even if he doesn't realize it. All you "old guys" I think that it is great that you all have done so well, as I know you have to have in order to get some of those very huge tanks going, and I hope one day I will have done as well as you guys have (and have a HUGE tank to show for it!!!) Salt, thats the one good thing I guess about having bought everything for my tank, I get to take it with me, even though it isn't as huge as yours!!

I'm 29 with 2 wonderful kids under 3. I'm just happy when my wife lets me buy stuff. But I can always use the excuse that it is for the kids. Actually I roofed my fish guy's garage for in store credit and I have gotten a ton of stuff through that.

Sounds like I am the yuppy in the group. I am turning 21 on August 21 and have been happily married for two years. I work and go to school and don't have any kids (Thank goodness). I am working on my Ph.D in psychology and my husband is a network administrator...Everyone I know thinks I am crazy for having a saltwater tank because "it is such an expensive hobby". I would be interested in knowing where everyone lives also, not just ages. Wouldn't it be neat to find out that someone on this board lives close to you?

All this talk about kids makes me feel old now. I have a 6 year old girl and 4 year old boy.

Hey tobie, I've been to Tropicorium and i made it my new favorite place to go to. I live in Farmington Hills so its a little closer to me. Still about a 20 minute drive but well worth it. If anybody else lives near the Detroit area i highly recommend going here. You won't be disappointed.
