New Teen wants to learn about marine/reefs in Kalispell

[ralpharnold2]

My grand-daughter (12)lives in Kalispell and is interested in the field of marine aquariums. I have discussed a bit with her about it, such as if she gets some starts or plugs now, in 6+ years when college approaches
she should have huge amounts to sell to help fund the college cost.

We have setup a "blind" email account. It is kalispell.ann@gmail.com

If you live in/near Kalispell and would like to share your experiences
with "Ann", please email her. At some point, if you are willing to
show your setups to her, her parents will contact you sorta as a screening
procedure.

Thank you!

ralph,
e mail is sent.

Nice to know that you are helping out. I have been in the hobby for a while now, some folks think I may actually know what I am talking about. Have your grand daughter get on here and sign up, tell her to feel free to post and ask any questions. I do have my opinions, and would be glad to share them.

I would also ask her to ask here before doing any buying of tanks and systems. There are stores around here that only want to see the $$$$$$, and they don't really care all that much about the livestock they sell, or the type of system they will sell you.

Like I said, I have my opinions, but I also think that I have been fairly successful with my setups. JMHO

Attached are some pics of my tank

Charlie is our local repository of wisdom in matters about reef keeping. He has helped many of us (well, maybe just me?) and has seen it all over the years. We all have long stories to tell for those who want to know. (email also sent)
