I've been lurking around this for a few months, My names Rick and i'm currently in highschool. My current reef is a 20 long (Chicago reef build thread)I also have a few freshwater setups mainly killifish and dwarf caridina shrimp if anyone is interested in those. Met some people already that are pretty great people. Glad to have such a forum with local people. :D

Welcome to CR..any picture of the 20 long? Thanks.
 
welcome aboard CR! I'm curious, please I mean no offense in any way, I just don't get to interact with many in school anymore. What made you decide to try saltwater? A lot of the new saltwater people I see are in their 20's, with far fewer outside outside of that age group. I'm just curious what got you hooked, like so many of us did in years past.

I guess community freshwater tanks got boring for me and saltwater didn't seem to hard. So I got two clownfish from my LFS and setup a 10 gallon saltwater for my 8th grade science teacher. At the end of the school year I bought a 20 gallon long, heater, and hob off of craigslist for pretty cheap and I transferred the ten gallon to the 20. I had researched reefing while I was running my ten gallon so I decided that was the route I was going to go. I had a friend who was also into saltwater and had met fish_wiz2 at a Red Sea event and he sold me the metal halide. Then I took a family trip to China and snagged a large amount of supplies for dirt cheap. And then I bought a skimmer from Gary. Scrapped together some money and bought some corals and here I am now. I think it was just my interest in it that got me hooked. The ability to have a part of the ocean in a glass box was pretty cool to me and a lot of tanks that I saw were beautiful and got my gears turning.
