    So for my 10g I've gotten a lot of negative criticism; tank build was also closed, which im not surprised at because so many people think my ideas are bad and someone specific told me i was completely hopeless. So I'm gonna be off of 3reef for a while and just take a break and actually decide how I want to progress with my tank on my own, since when I bring up a suggestion or do something people have the courage to tell me that I screwed up and that I never learn. Just wanna focus on freshman year and my tank really. Hopefully my 29 gallon also gets repaired by that time. And yes I will be heeding everyone's advice on my 10 gallon and livestock. I'm thinking a goby/shrimp pair and one more other fish. Also I hope to get rid of my maroon clownfish and algae blenny soon. Anyway, till then, I'll see you guys later.

    Get rid of everything and start back up with a 55g-90g tank.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Go enjoy life.

    I have enjoyed your unique sense of humor ( muffin exchange) and you have grown as a hobbyist so much.

    Good luck on what ever you decide to do and do not put much weight to internet negativity, in the long run it is just not that important.

    Don't let everyone get you down, some can be quite grumpy if their advise is not followed. Take what you have learned and put it to good use. I will miss your muffin bids.

    I hate to see anyone leave 3reef. Even tho I don't see eye to eye with you on a lot of things...I do think you were learning and growing a lot. I can notice a difference in your advice the more mature you get in this hobby....because you are learning....you don't respond well to constructive critisism, but thats your personality and I can respect that. And with maturity in this hobby and in life you will see that others werent trying to "harm" your ideas, but just trying to save you the heart-break and lost finances this hobby can bring (especially for a 14yr old full time student). I do hope that you continue to try and learn as much as you can about EVERYTHING. I agree to focus on your education, and soak up as much of it as you can while its free... Good-luck with everything, and Happy Reefing

    I am going to miss you on 3reef! As the others said, I really saw you grow on here and it sucks to see you leave. :(
