SRC Member [V]tEc Posted January 3, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted January 3, 2013 Pocket money. I currently have a empty saltwater tank and wanna fill it up 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.

sunnymau Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 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.

Kelvin81 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Slimymadness Posted January 4, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted January 4, 2013 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...
