what kind of info do u need?

Are your parents fully funding your hobby or u be using your pocket money for the tank and stuff? reason i ask is becos running a reef tank can be quite ex.

Hi kid, you may want to consider using some punctuations in your post to help us understand you better.

"A panda eats shoots and leaves" is very different from "A panda eats, shoots, and leaves".

It will be good if you can share with us what sort of advice u need...

Good to start reading through the vast amount of available info here too

[justakid]

Challenge yourself to read up to this forum first before u decide to dive in... Better learn now then regret later.

If you are using your pocket money to fund for this hobby, my honest advise is dont even start. This is not a cheap hobby to begin with. Even some of the working adults have problems maintaining this hobby and have to give up.

Saltwater and freshwater is totally different. Saltwater common fishes are rather cheap or affordable. It is usually the setup and the running cost that kills. Unless u are telling me u have $50 per day for pocket money, then it might be different.

Some kids I know get $50 a day.

Is saving $956 0000 over 13 years enough?

If you really have this amount of money and allow to spend it.. go to any reputable lfs and get them setup for you and mantain for you. No need for advise here..

Agreed. Just pay and enjoy.

[justakid]

guys tks for advice but problem leh. mum don want any people from lfs in house lest they steal something haiz it would have been a lot easier

[Kelvin81]

Then too bad skip thos hobby. U need ppl delivery tank.. delivery cabinet.. ppl do pipping..

So its impossible that no outsider enter your house. May be other hobby suit you more.

[Slimymadness]

13 years old and you have more savings than a lifetime of work for a lot of people.

why not buy some shares at the RWS marinelife Park and be the owner of the biggest tank of them all? There is no need for strangers in the house, no need to maintain anything and best of all, i bet with enough "donation", you can request to dive in it whenever you feel like it.

Just ask the management for approval should you feel the urge to add a cute tang or two.

And you can laugh at all of us here who have the usual small home tanks.

Cheers buddy...

[Kelvin81]

U can even add reef shark.. octopus.. something that we never ever able to add in. And be proud of it and laugh even laughter at here.

If I were u, I won't do that. Stealing pictures around and claim that is your fish? Dont have to keep saying you are 13. Your actions already prove that.

I will advise u to take down that 2 picture which u claim are your fishes.

[Kelvin81]

Now I even suspect the tank he claimed...

[Snoopyhamburger]

Yup...Saw the second tank on the net during free time.
