Thanks Larry...do you think you could set up a TTOTM (youth tank of the month) for us

? Or atleast explain why that would be impossible...

Much thanks!

It has been discussed, but it's not looking good. Finding one TOTM is often a challenge, doubling that just would not make much sense.
I'm not the person that makes the final decisions, but I don't want you to get your hopes up.

I'm 18, tank est. in December.

Flipturn88 · #**254** 07/19/2004, 08:01 PM

wastememphis, is that a LTA in the center of the tank? Nice setup!

pixburg-reefer · #**255** 07/19/2004, 08:05 PM

I'm 17 and have a 55. I was about to buy a 150 for real cheap, but I decided against it since I will be going to college in a year. Oh well, I'll get a bigger one later!! And besides, Nano Reefs are pretty cool. I plan on keeping my JBJ Nano Cube at college.

Flipturn88 · #**257** 07/19/2004, 08:09 PM

I think both Peacetypes6 and Blueleg have a 120. That's pretty darn big.

Wee Man · #**261** 07/19/2004, 08:38 PM

probably meant 16 lol

i had a 92, but we lost it when our basement flooded

now i just tinker with my 16 gallon cube, good for frags though.

jun41 · #**262** 07/19/2004, 09:46 PM

He must have meant 16.

For his occupation he's got P.I.M.P. That sounds like something I would put down. I'm also 16.

garrettjohnson · #**263** 07/19/2004, 10:00 PM

I have had sw fish only tanks for 3 years now im 15. I am currently setting up a 55 gallon SPS and Clam Tank.

blueleg · #**264** 07/19/2004, 10:02 PM

cj basser, me and 2 other peeps that are on this board that are teens and from central ohio. I live just north of columbus, what about you? I am 17, the others are 16 and 15

clwnphish · #**265** 07/19/2004, 10:26 PM

125 sps reef here....

when i was 14, i helped a friend of the same age set up a 1,000 gallon shark/ ray pond. We built it ourselves with 4x4's lincoln log style and then used a pond liner..... also had two 40 gallon breeders for sps frag grow out, plus he has a 200 show tank..... All except the 200 were taken down though.

He had a site for the pond tank..do a search under Reef Man...

Boomerblaster8 · #**267** 07/20/2004, 12:13 AM

Hey DgenR8, Okay so your saying that a TTOTM isn't possible, but what about one every so often? Pretty much everyone who has posted in this thread will back me up when i say our world is different. Although it seems that one tank per month cannot be honored, what about one possibly every few months or even 6 months? Or if you must a TTOTY (year). It will give us something to work towards, and allow us to set a goal. It will also allow us to feel the same amount of respect as all of the other eldery (jk jk) on the boards. We don't have thousands of dollars to throw into a glass box, which many TOTM winners do. Give us at least some hope!

Boomerblaster8 · #**268** 07/20/2004, 12:19 AM

BACK me up guys! I think a revolt is in order (many 16 year olds can break out there obnoxious sides to get what they want)!!

! Is there a higher authority we can contact?

DgenR8 · #**269** 07/20/2004, 07:30 AM

Your request hasn't been ignored, it's one of many ideas that are on the table. However, this forum, on page 11 of an existing thread isn't the place to discuss it.
Take your request to the feedback and questions forum if you want to press on with it. One word of advice, threats like this, are not the way to state your case.

Flipturn88 · #**270** 07/20/2004, 07:37 AM

I agree...Anyone who wants to can start a new thread about YTOTM. You will get much more interest anyways.

Any more pics of our tanks?

peacetypes6 · #**271** 07/20/2004, 07:48 AM

Jun nice avatar, zeppelin all the way.

Peace

Flipturn88: Its actually a long tenticle plate coral, which is very large.

pixburg-reefer · #**273** 07/20/2004, 09:34 AM

I think that their would be one problem with the TTOTM is that how do you know that the people sending in the pics to win are actutally teens? Older people might put their pics in saying that they are 15 when they are really 35 just to win. I hope that wouldn't happen but some people may. So we would need to find a way to clarify that that person is really their age.
wastememphis- nice frogspawn. All one piece?

Flipturn88 · #**274** 07/20/2004, 10:05 AM

Good point Kelly--that's the problem with the internet.

XsploveReefin · #**275** 07/20/2004, 10:06 AM

Send a pic next to your tank
