Default Where is everyone going?
Lately it seems like there is a huge rash of people selling off their systems and getting out of the hobby. I'm just curious as to why there is such a large number of people wanting to get out lately?

Thoughts?

Default getting out
I for one am thinking about selling so that I can use my trailer this summer without the worry of my tank. I also just bought a racecar..... so I could probably use the money.

Maybe people just want to incorporate lifestyle changes. Most of the people leaving the hobby probably have higher priorities than dedicating time to a reef tank. Others are tired of dealing with the problems that come with reef tanks.

Exactly. Happens ever year, it seems.


I find even myself in the summer I spend less time adding or buying stuff. By summer I want it to all run almost maintenance free till it gets cooler again.

I just don't remember so many people getting out of the hobby last summer, or the one before that. I guess it must be because a lot of the people who are leaving now I've known for longer.
