I read your whole thread and your mangrove thread and i am very impressed a 16 year old can do that. I'm 23 and just got in a year ago and still learning. I ma doing a 180 bowfront build http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1628271 . We live close! I am still collecting equiptment casue I don't have the funds like you haha. I bet your parents like to pay that PGE bill each month for the tank. I'm guessing mine will go up $100 a month for the lighting. BTW what skimmer are you using? Also do you use digital controler like RK? maybe i missed that. You should be a marine bio guy. I wish i would ahve done that in college...If you need some help with college stuff PM me i just got out 2 years ago and real life is better without homework but sucks cause you have more bills! keep reefing! Maybe we will run into each other some day at a frag swap.

Thanks! Very nice tank you got there!! Looks like its coming along nicely. Eh, I don't have any funds, I make the money myself. Its kinda easy for me to afford the tank because I'm spending ALL my money on the tank and I don't have to pay any bills.... yet. LOL I don't have any high tech equipment what so ever, except for the lighting. Nope, no digital controller, no dosers, no auto top offs, no fancy stuff or anything like that, everything is done by hand. lol Yeah, I might become a Marine Bio guy. Okay, will do. Yeah, homework does kinda suck, but its better than paying bills! Maybe. Also, I'm skimmerless.
