Lol well maybe you should calm down with the whole "I got my whole tank setup for $150" bit. That would tend to **** people off that have spent their own hard earned money on their tanks. This is a hobby. If you can't afford what you are trying to do, you shouldn't be doing it. Begging is not the way to go about it, and frankly I'm sick (and I'm sure others are to) of seeing you beg on here, and then brag about what you've gotten for free.
Seriously, I can't afford to setup a 75g so what do I do? I don't set one up. You can still love the hobby and have a smaller tank. If you couldn't afford food, I'd buy you some bread. If you couldn't afford clothes, I'd give you some of my old ones. But not being able to afford a fish tank is not a worthy cause for charity.
At 16, you're lucky that your parents even let you set a tank up. I wasn't allowed any pets of my own until I left for college. And even now, working 30-35 hours per week (and lots of student loans) to afford all of my things, I can't afford much more than what I have now.

Relax man, I had a tank for sale, Seth made an offer and we haggled back and forth, not like a crime was committed, anyone on here could have gotten the same price if they offered when I had that tank for sale. EVERY time I have dealt with Seth he has made it a fair deal. Ive got a lot of sweet deals around here and pass it on when im done with the tank, spend some more time with your eyes open looking for good prices and package deals and less time attacking someone online and you could have your own 75. There is no reason to be ****** off and jealous at someone for stateing they got a good deal.
We should also be thankful Seth is passionate about something like reefkeeping at the age of 16, there are a lot of lessons in it, responsibility, Compassion, budget etc etc. If more kids had productive hobbies and parents that supported them maybe this world would have one or 2 fewer criminal minded youths stabing and shooting eachother in the quest for a crack rock. Lets try a novel approach of being supportive of the youth these days instead of trying to attack them on an anonomous forum.
Saleen sorry for the rant but fealt strongly it needed to be said, next time your in the area Ill give you a super sweet deal![]()
