im 14, got into this hobby 1.5 yrs ago, and kept a lot of everything lol. cichlids, saltwater, planted, but so far saltwater has been my favorite because it has more of a challenge. here are some pics:

got a 10 gallon, gonna go into my soon to be 50 gallon, and the tank will be an ATO



my 55 gallon freshwater, its grown a bit since this, but yea lol



my soon to be saltwater, the first tank my mom is letting me put somewhere other than my room (its going in the office where everyone can see it)




some of my friends make fun of me for spending all this money on fish, but who cares, its awsome, and if they dont respect me they arent real friend anyways

 

[legolas100]

thanks for the link flying dutchman and nice work teddyzaper, as you grow older you will find people will mock you no matter what you do or what side of the fence you're on, you can never win so stop trying! do what you like! and i bet they all stop talking when they see your tanks, its happened to me

 

[teddyzaper]

lol ya, they **** when i showed them my planted, but saltwater isnt much yet

 

[legolas100]

well i thought i should post some pics of mine seeing as a threads no good without pics,

this is our 120Gal 4ft tank, we got it from one of my older brothers mates 2nd hand and scraped the blue background he had on it and repainted it black, looks much nicer now in my opinion, heres some set up pics, excuse the algae and diatoms, old pics and the usual cycling issues

 

[legolas100]

 

[legolas100]

Sorry for the Blurry pics, and the huuuuuuuge amount of algae in the tank, those are about 2 or 3 weeks old i think and tanks cleared up alot since then, ill post some better pics soon and some of the corals we've added

if you wana read/follow the build then go to my homepage and take a look

 

[LobsterOfJustice]

I'm 20... how about this, I'll post a pic of my tank from when I was under 18 I had this 75 all through high school.

 

[ThunderTang]

Nice tanks everyone, I'm still waiting for my old man to get off the couch and lug it outside to be cleaned. LobsterOfJustice you had the large angel fish i want.

 

[LobsterOfJustice]

Loved that fish. I eventually sold him because he needed a bigger tank. Now I've got a 180 and bought another one, this time a little 1" juvie I can watch change and grow up!

 

[ThunderTang]

Cool, got the tank up a coupekl minutes ago, will get pictures soon. Won't have water in it for awhile.
