    one thing i believe i forgot to mention is that im 14 and only make money by mowing lawns! i only make like $20 or $30 a week, so i am forced to take it slow with purchasing equipment and coral, but this hobby has the greatest payoff of all. i got into this hobby because every year i go for a week to the carribean and usually go snorkeling and just cant get enough of it. im going to Turks and Caicos this year, and they have a reef right off the beach that is full of colorful brain corals (ive been there before).

    Welcome to 3reef..
    I was about your age when I started with tropical/freshwater fish...I remember saving up just enough money to buy my first fish tank, a 20 gallon along with the filter and heater....That was a long time ago, LOL....
