jmitchell Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hey All! Im a college reefer and I have no money! Lol, so anyone else who is in the same boat, lets get a thread going for making those nanos as awesome as possible, while being frugal! I don't know about everyone here, but reefing has been an inredible experience for me (2 months into the hobby) and I know everyone is proud of their tanks, big or small! Lets get the community of poor reefers together! I know theres people out there who love to exchange frags, advice, and great stories! HOORAY TO EVERYONE WHO BUYS CORAL BY THE PAYCHECK!!!!!!!! lol, so anyone who has frags, stories, advice, or anything else to say about being a college reefer, heres your thread!!!! -LJ:D Link to comment
