my parents will let me as long as it's my money and I do a 50/50 split on my job 50% for savings 50% for spendings.
Same here. I bought everything for my 20 gallon. Excpet the stand, which my parents bought because they didn't want the cheap metal stand I was going to get at PetSmart. They got a $600 dollar cherrywood stand, and then complain the tank was an expensive project I bought the tank kit, the sand, the gravel, the plants, the rocks, the driftwood, the food, the media, and the fish. But they won't let me uprade not because of money, but of space. My house is really small.
