13.5 evo coming up soon...

I wouldn't be dishonest with your mom.
Tell her the truth. You found a really awesome family reefing site and members want to donate gear to your cause. Thats where id start. I'm sure we can get staff to make it happen. They do stuff like that all the time.

She wouldn’t like me just giving my address to someone online who she dosent know is even going to give the stuff and might just come here with a gun and shoot us or something like that. (She has anxiety about that)

Do not give your address to anyone. Shes 100% correct with that statement.
What in saying is this is a professionally ran, family orientated site. Im sure Rev the owner or staff member here could help us figure out a way to get it to you through the site. Like your getting a delivery of r2r swag gear or just won a monthly contest or something. Except its a donation through r2r.

I’d rather get it through like offerup or something

I might get the fijicube but I don’t know, it is like 154$ with the pump and If I can’t find a way to get the stuff soon I won’t be able to afford my tank at all

You could tell her you won craziest kid/ fastest member to 2500 club. All of that would be entirely true. And then have it delivered through the site.
She wouldn't go for that?

 

[NoahLikesFish]

Probably not, any online contest would sound like a scam to her, she’s the kinda person who signed up for a free iPhone 1000$ Amazon gift card things and learned the hard way

 

[NoahLikesFish]

I’m probably gonna go to bed.

 

[NoahLikesFish]

She is friends with the reef on Twittervor Facebook @BeltedCoyote

 

[LRT]

We can get it sorted tomorrow.
Belted could probably friend her and let her know. Wouldnt worry about it tonight

Seeming where this is headed,I'm scared you won't be able to take the care needed of the tank,just saying.

What?

 

[Bribo12]

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like donating a rodi to this kid is sending the wrong message to people who have done research and actually appreciate the help they get. Like I said though maybe that’s just me...

 

[BeltedCoyote]

I don’t use Twitter...
I mean, I have an account I made 13 years ago. But yeah.

not planning on getting back on Twitter. We can figure this out. Still think I’m team @LRT Lets see what Rev thinks.

I liked it better when Noah was going to mow lawns and build his dream tank. It was almost kind of inspiring in a way.

He has zero use for curve 5 skimmer.

The Bubble Magus 5 might be small but it's way too big for a Evo 13.5. It won't fit in the AIO chamber and would take up about 1/4 of the display if you put it in there! In fact, you don't even need a skimmer on an Evo.

If money is an issue then he shouldn't be thinking about Kessils, AI Prime, powerheads etc. You can make a chamber basket out of egg crate. The stock LED is fine to start with (add a cheap Nicrew timer from Amazon). I have a Sicce 0.5 return pump and VCA RFG and that is enough flow to start with.

You can get the tank equipment for less than $200 ready to go. The bigger cost (which I have just been through) is the 'extras', such as rock, salt, RODI, test kits, cleaning tools, food, filter media, medications/dips etc.

I would buy the 'extras' first before worrying about LEDs, powerheads and skimmers.

Yeah I misunderstood and thought he was going with sump for some reason.
I have ansoloutely no use for it myself so figured I'd throw it in anyway.

What ?

You're a kid right ? I feel like that's a safe assumption to make,or at least in your teens.

Is your mom going to fund the whole build ? For some reason I feel like when she has to fork out $160 for test kits (Salifert,no API junk) she is not going to like that.

I see rodi being throw around,is she going to fork out $30 a bucket for salt ? Or when a heater goes down to replace it for you ?

I have seen plenty of kids here and on NR want to start a tank and never go thru with it because they are reliant on someone else buying things for them.

Do a ton of research,and when you think you have done enough go do some more. In that time,maybe walk some dogs,deliver the neighborhood old lady her mail,mow some lawns or whatever it takes and stash some cash,slowly by the right equipment: quality test kids,reliable ato,a reliable light,good salt.
