Probably because it's an expensive hobby...

very true.. i have 2 jobs and find myself spending a lot of money on this hobby that i should be spending on other things.. but i’m addicted haha

most young refers i know start out bc they work at a fish store- but because tanks are so expensive and time consuming and a big responsibilty- you dont see so many young adults into it. Esp around your age since kids leave for college as well. You can still talk to all of us old folk though. ; )

Yea I thought that to when I started at around your age. I only knew one other guy my age who was into reef keeping (18 at the time. 20 now.)

Now I look back and check how much I spent on this hobby... stuffs expensive.
