im never gonna give up on a tank. its just both my tanks have gotten a little boring cuz i have 2 save up for the light and stuff for the DIY ATO just for this pico.

i wish they can hire 13 year olds at stores

Wow I keep forgetting how your younger than me

Ya I need a job too, but I am making some pretty good money mowing lawns (and I make my own hours )

Well thats good you're not giving up on it.

yeah thanks lol

i broke my fingerrrrrrrrr noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

and i almost haz teh money 4 teh light!!!!

Oh thats a bummer. What finger lol?

Cool, the tank will look better with a new light.

my lefy pinkey finger lol

You're lucky haha. You will still be able to write, I broke my left thumb (I am left handed and it was during school) long story short I can kinda write with my right hand. If you even have to put a cast on it, it will be healed in a month or so.

yeah i just have a splint for now. but im going 2 an orthopedic later this week

i have 2 have da splint on for a month... but i didnt wear it today lol

i put in a blue ric from the nano... the yellow ric split and the 2 pieces jumped off the rock. i was able to get them out of the fuge and used mesh to attatch them to a rock.

and im gettin a new light soon. its the Odyssea 13" 24W Power Compact Light Fixture

i ordered the light!!! woot!!

grats tell me how the light works for you...I was going to go ghetto for my pico and use my old US current satallite but it has 96 watts of out put....bleach much?

omg i just found a bumblebee snail in the tank... wtf. and the new light should come today of tomorrow

ITS HERE

pics or it ant here

k they are uploading

tryin to get a ric attatched to some rubble




and these were the guys not openin up... but now they are hooray!!

nice!

thanks!

clean yo glass foo!

ha ha lol i always get caught for that

Woohoo new light!

You're my Guinea pig.

thank you!

nano you are doing good bro...im a teen reefer also!....and i know how you feel about the not enough money thing.. but I am about to get a job at a local reef shop

perdy new light buds....i likes



























NOWCLEANYERFREEKINGLASS!!!

i will today... after i get my SEXIES!!

Toothpick- i think im the youngest teen reefer... lol im only 13 and cant get a job around here until im 16

Teen Reefers FTW!

Nice man, I just got all the rock for my tanks, I know the feeling. How do you like the light by the way?

it is aweseome. all the coral were a brownish color with the old light and the shrooms were stretching up twoard the light, but the minute i turned t on the corals were happy and started to color back up

Cool. How about the quality of the light itself? Thats what I am wondering about

the light itself... assembling the mount was a pain in the butt... but its worth it. i think i need to wait a few more days of weeks to see exactly how reliable the light is

Cool well I hope it does well for you!

thank you me to!

well nano its ok atleast you start your saltwater experience early...you can get a couple of jobs when you are 15 or so i bet if you present yourself as knowledgable to the shop keeper

yep my LFS owner know me well and once let me help him acclimate a new shipment in andi got my RO water free that day, only $2 but still it was cool

Sweet! I wish I had a cool LFS near me, I would be working there right now if there was...

New pics now! With cleaned glass of course.

Whoa you need to level that tank out and perhaps clean the glass but other than that I like it a lot so far. Hope that new fixture works out well for you.

yup i noticed that also lol. i leveled it after i posted the picd



not much different... the glass is still dirty... i need a really small coraline algae scraper lol

Woohoo sexies! If there weren't sexies I wouldn't consider a pico



I'm 14 BTW

eh... got back from my "favorite LFS". they had 1 sexy shrimp... $20. wtf. at least i saw a sexy shrimp with my own eyes. also i was going to look for a pom pom crab... found one... missing 2 legs... laying in a corner... its nems on the ground... alive... but not lookin hot. ok so mabey a porcelain. out of 5, the only one alive was missing a claw. ok... mabey a coral then. they only had expensive acans and boring zoas and shrooms... and bleached SPS. So... mabey a RSB for my nano. go to the fish, a tank of 10 scooters, only 1 red scooter, but a female. most of the other livestock wasnt in the best of shape. so i just left with some chemie-pure for my nano. i dont know what happened to the LFS... they were so awesome until they remodeled... i think i know why they have been having a ton of sales latley...




WOOT another teen reefer!!

but im still youngest

LOL!!

Wow sounds almost as bad as Deathco!

ha ha yup. but this place used to be AMAZING!!

Did you paint the outside or inside of your tank? And how did you not accidentally spray everywhere else?

i started my first reef tank (10gal) wen i was 13 too , all on $5 a week alowance haha,
keep it up man !
wtf is happening $20 for a sexy shrimp! they wer only $8 now they are $16 here

lol another local store is just sellin them for $9, so thats where im gettin them.

NN- i painted the outside and covered up the rest with tape and newspaper so paint didnt get everywhere. also you need Krylon Fusion Paint

some new zoas, fragged from the Nano

Yummy. I'ma take a vid of my tank so all can see the beauty. But I don't have a camera

then have your mom buy you one

and 4,000 post!!! woot!!

I'll just borrow my friends. He doesn't think my fish obsession is THAT wierd... just a little... well...

My mom would rather spend money on lighting than a camera

How much and how often do you top off your tank?
