give people more than 9 minutes to respond....
i would suggest going with a cheaper tank/smaller system though if you cant afford to get the equipment...maybe i'm missing something but there are always those recirculating fees with the tanks...but anyways, i hope you can get a nice one setup...i have a seaclone skimmer, no pump though....sorry cant help ya more

Sorry, not quite thought through I suppose. I just think that he should be more courteous to people while begging for things..
Sorry to anyone that may have been offended..

How about trying to get a job? Ill tell you what since i cant afford what i want for this hobby can someone on here just give it to me.
I hate when people come on here looking for handouts.

If the original poster wants to start his own thread asking for other people's left overs let him.
You don't have to give him anything.
This hobby is expensive, and it may not be right for him, but that is not for any of us to decide.
Remember to be respectful please.

if you cant afford the hobby dont get into it. If you are old enough for a job and physically able to hold one, get one. If you cant afford the equipment, you cant afford the upkeep. Save your money and wait until you are ready.

if you have money to save, then you need to be buying the euipment, most people here have to work to get their equipment as well...so if you can try and buy the equipment, doesnt have to start out with the best tank, i started with a 10because its all i had at the moment...eventually getting bigger as i had more to spend....just my opinion though, not trying to be mean...if people can spare it then great, if not go smaller, lesser lighting, like pcs.

What's with all the begging lately????? I started basement level with the cheapest setup and moved up over time. Maybe, Santa will answer your letter if ask nicely..... This is a forum of opinions and well, mine is to stop asking for handouts
I want the new LED lighting system maybe somebody here will give me one so I don't have to work hard, save, and buy it on my own.

It's not the fact that people are being rude as much as they are VERY tired of seeing these "begging" threads.
It bothers people so I guess that they should not respond, but some cannot help but to tell you how they feel.
