Lol keeping a tank looking nice is alot of hardwork! That's why now I lean more toward DW and stones than plants. Nothing ever goes wrong and it still looks good. 40Bs always ook good, what're your plans for it?

Yeah, plants can be hard but I like the way they look over fake ones. Plus when they're happy they grow which leads to clippings which leads to selling those which leads to more fish!!! I was thinking either saving up for a reef tank or trying my hand at Africans or a nice Asian Biotope with maybe some wild bettas. I honestly don't know yet. But I'm hoping.

SW Is fun, but be prepared for your wallet to suffer, it's worth it though. I have a 25 SW and I'm in over 250 with fish or coral yet. Lights are the big thing

So, I was wondering since a lot of you have a lot of tanks: are your parents supportive of your fish keeping hobby?

Ah, my dad used 2 have a fish tank and he would take everything out 2 clean it. (Yikes) Mom is not a fan, but ad long as they stay in my room, then no prob

Yeah, I have a 10g, but the lights aren't good at all. I am still getting it all around though. All I have in it is 8.5lbs of rock and some RO/DI water and some salt. I still need to get sand

You could do bare bottom if you wanted and your supposed to add sand last, so no big. eBay is great for lights

My parents are pretty supportive, except they definitely restrict my number of tanks! But yeah they are pretty cool about it and really want me to start a business out of it.

My parents are supportive but sometimes I don't have the money to buy everything. And they help out with water changes, etc. I do some work as well.

Both of my parents are very supportive. As long as I buy all of the stuff, they don't mind me having a fish room. They love sitting down to watch the tanks

Same here

So what are you all going to do when you go to college? That is the main reason why my parents don't like me having too many tanks. Plus the main college I'm looking at has a 5g policy.
