My thoughts on why a kid shouldn't build a monster tank (things to consider)

This thread makes me lul.
The thread wasn't for that last kid that had obviously done his homework. But yet another example of a kid getting his panties up in a bunch over something unnecessarily.
The thread was intended to point out some things parents and kids should seriously contemplate beore beginning a big DIY tank build.....And like it or not, it points out some good points. And some of those points are relevent specifically to people who are under 18 and living in their parents house, so it doesn't apply fully to everyone. But there are a lot of things for anyone to consider as well. It is not to insult people who are under 18's knowledge of fishkeeping.
If you want a thread on "things to consider before building a big DIY tank" that applies to everyone.....WRITE ONE YOURSELF, and stop complaining in my thread.

That is my opinion. What I wrote has a lot of reasons why I would not let my kid build a DIY monster tank, and also has a lot of things that a parent and kid should consider before starting. After considering all of those points and questions I have in my first post, I am at the conclusion that I would not let my kid build one unless I intend to be the owner once he goes to college and can't take it into the dorms with him.
Again.....if you want to make another thread discussing the pitfalls and things to consider for everyone (not just kids/parents), make a thread. I'll be interested to read your thoughts.
Again, it's not intended to bash the knowledge of minors. I'm sure there's some out there that know more than me. It's my thoughts on why a minor living in their parents house shouldn't build a DIY monster tank, and it has a lot of good things in it that I'm sure both parents and kids have not considered that should factor into the decision, which is ultimately theirs to make.
^ thats a good point, most parents who are non-fish keepers dont realize that fish can live 20yrs, with some living up to 50-100yrs old...
So they may think that these fish will all be dead by the time little timmy is off in college, just to find out that they will have to care for not only the expenses for the fish but the actual fish themselves with water changes etc...
