New Saltwater Man...Cost too much :-(

[mattmike0405]

Hi guys I'm a few months new to the Saltwater hobby and since I am starving College student, I never have money to buy nice corals/fish or let me even say corals and fish period. Would like to know if anyone could donate either Reef safe Fish or any corals to start my tank going with some color? I've been testing my water and all the levels look good. Thanks so much and let me know.

Thanks
Matt

If you you would let people know where you are, some local people may be more willing to help out. I could donate if anyone is close to San Luis Obispo, or feels like a road trip as I am not going to ship.

Beers sound good...I'm not to sure about the smokes hahaha. I sit on my couch every once in a while with a beer in my hand staring at my fish tank and looking at forum pics online...and I'm like "I just want to have as nice as a tank as those forum pics" lol...I'm not to patient either so once I start something new, I move quick...not possible with this HOBBY! FML lol.

Don't feel bad. When I was a kid and had the saltwater fever I saved up to buy a couple of Damsels. I had no car so I biked to several LFS. I would travel about 10 miles each way on my bike and it was not even a 10 speed or a mountain bike. There was no RO water back then. Just tap water and Instant Ocean. Internet was non-existance so the only help was by reading outdated books from the library or ask the unknowledgeable LFS employees.
