I think school may be the better deal when compared to work. the only drawback is you have less time to work and make money $$$.

well you'll just have to hustle to afford all the goodies for your tank.
what's the next thing to want to/ need to get?

I guess I'd rather be working once its something that I want to be doing and then I'll have money of my own to support the hobby rather than moochin off the parents...:bigeyes2:

john that thing is like 400 watt, that im scared of, i dont know if it's 400 watt for the heater, but sure as hell im scared of killing my electric LOL,

BTW what SG do you guys use for your tanks? 30PPT? or higher? i dont know what i should use, but is it one cup for every gallon? or half cup for every gallon?

you'll have to see after the first bill comes in.
I bet you will be pretty nervous till then.

I keep my tank at 1.025 according to my handy refractometer. not to high not to low, just right :) at least the fish seem to like it.
as for measuring the salt each one can be different from what i found, it's around a half cup per gallon though.

damn right john im nervous about this bill, i just hope this thing can keep my temp down and stays that way, the next upgrade for this tank is the same size footprint but taller, so i can use the same equipment and whatnot, that will probably have to wait for next year, im pretty excited about the tank and all already, hopefully it will grow like yours :p

kris, i bet you will have more time in college, remember there is always computer lab and break time, i know i have all that time on my hand to sit and do some posting hehehhe. Worst comes to worst i'd go to sleep in the sleeping dolphin lounge, yes collge keeps us kids nice and lazy; they even supply us beds LOL!

what? don't tell me you have a nap room at school?

if your that nervous about the e bill I would get the kill a watt and see what the chiller is going to cost to run. it would at least let you sleep at night and not be in a cold sweat waiting for the bill to come and your mom to hit you in the back of your head ;)
