I do odd jobs like selling candy at school, washing cars, mowing lawns, tutoring, etc. that help me finance my hobbies. Pulls in a semi-steady income, so I am able to make about $100 a week. Parents pay for gas, so I can use that money for saving & hobbies. Like waited for two weeks to buy myself InTank media baskets, etc. Still can't buy new equipment usually. I love buying "Broken" stuff and fixing it- like my Radion Pro fixture (Just needed a few wires soldered in the PSU) Link to comment

I got to college full time and am a manager for a fast food restaurant but I make about $600 every two weeks so it's decent money for a college Student Link to comment

Thanks bro means a lot. I actually was not planning on upgrading to the RL-45, but after a JBJ heater cooked our 300 gallon cichlid tank they sent it as consolation pretty much. I was thrilled LOL! Really think the tank is "Clean"? I always find the actual livestock/internal layout of mine so inferior compared to the rest of the NR tanks. I only buy small frags (Like 1" for SPS, 1 head LPS, 3 head Zoas) and feel like my tanks sort of everywhere right now Dayum 300$ a week? Is that profit or just net? (I mean like usable money, or put towards loans/food/requiredtolive) Link to comment

Any ideas for mine? I picture large assorted montipora caps on the tall left piece (Neon Green, Purple, Red, etc.) and perhaps something encrusting on the vertical parts. On the sand bed (Hopefully cleaned soon) I will have my Open Brain, a Zoa rock, and perhaps a long tentacle plate. Eventually I aim to buy a centerpiece- either a large plate acro or a elegance coral to make the tank feel more developed, but I guess patience is where its at! Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm thinking some different color plating montis on the left rock making it like a ledge that would be awesome and throw an acro on top, a scoly or nice plate in the middle but if you do a plate you should do like three of different colors and on the right am acan garden would be sick or a euphyllia garden haha Thanks!

I have a small green slimer on the left rock w. all the caps and a neon green, red, purple, Miami, etc montipora already! On the right I have a large trachphyllia, a Duncan, a frogspawn, and some Zias. I've wanted scans for a while though! Link to comment
