    I have to take down my reef tank because i can't keep up with the money being 14 i cant get a job and no allowance. so after a lot of thinking i am taking down my reef tank.But i am saving my money until I'm out of college and getting a monster super awesome set up after college .But i am getting a smaller tank from my friend and making it fresh water so i have some sort of fish tank at least. I will still keep in touch.

    Sorry to hear that, but you are making the right call. No sense in doing it if you can not do it right. Not fun for you or fair for the reef tank. There are certainly ways to do it less expensively...but with no income and no allowance....Im not sure there is a way to do it for free. Keep reading, and keep learning though, so when you can afford it later in life, you will be an expert when it comes to setting up reefs! Good luck.
