Well yeah around here, youd get a higher amount of people with sps dominated tanks. sps are more "challenging" and so more "advanced" aquarists will take it on. canreef and boards like us will always have a higher amount of advanced keepers with "beginners" coming and going and not really posting heavily. However the "beginners" of the hobby are greatly underrespresented around here. think about it. there are a LOT of people who have set up their tanks to be as easy to maintain as possible... and they'll tell their lfs so. so they end up with softie and possibly lps dominated tanks... i cant imagine an lfs recommending an sps tank for a beginner can you?

sorry, i just got out of my statistics course... lurking variables, correlation and causation oh my!
