Low on Money...

i mean i had some expensive hobbys at your age but i did do a few neightbors lawns and what not. saved that money and bought my fish. I have been in salt since i was like 8 so. My dad said if i wanted it i would find a way to work for it. good luck.

 

bloodkip..... U are indeed a luckySOB LOL

 

thanks; I'll probably need it

 

If anything you love the hobby and for christ sakes your 14 you have you whole life for a saltwater tank. Im the same way i have to wait wich kills me but moneys money.

 

so... anyone wanna answer my previous question? how do i post a pic from photobucket? i did copy and paste but it doesnt let me paste

 

I'll send u some dry rock...you pay for my gas and shipping, but I wont charge u for the dry rock....Priority Mail has a box that is like $15.35 to ship anywhere...and I can get about 35lbs in a box...I dont usually do it for that cheap cuz i pay to use the land to harvest the dry rock from...but in ur case i'd be willing cuz i know what its like to want and not have...$20 and i'll ship u a box

 

nah its alright; you really dont need to do that, but i really appreciate that. so how do i post a pic?

 

I am assuming you are talking about not giving up saltwater... not the drugs. Right? ;D

There is an image code underneath the picture. Copy that code. Click the Mountain button ^^ above and paste that code in the popup. Easy

 

I would take the offer from kevin myself...

 

The first step is communication. You said that your mom thinks your irresponsible too, meaning that they both see a irresponsible side of you. You need to find a way to show them that this can be a good way to work on responsibility. From how much you've researched things and some of the things you post about responsible fish keeping I'm a little surprised about that but I don't really know you for real. I assuming there is a part of you that is a little more 14ish that is not as responsible for your parents to feel this way. You need to be able to show them that your going to be the 14 year old kid that is consistently interested in doing the right thing in any situation. Basically I'm saying kiss ass and bust ass around the house until you get respect for "doing something".

Oh ya, have you looked into diy rock?
