Default Getting out of the hobby.
Anybody noticed how many people are shutting down their tanks and getting out of the hobby? Everyday it seems someone is selling off everything and getting out. I wonder if this trend is just here or everywhere.

Times are tough for alot of people, and this hobby isn't cheap. True hobbiests may have to leave for a bit, but you will find alot get back in when it allows.

It is sad to see someone go, but whoever you are, I wish you the best of luck and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Some will likely try and come back before they *really* should. I don't name names though.

My Dream is to go to everyones house to see their tanks. But there will somepeople that won't let me see their tank now that could be looked at as a STALKER.....

Perhaps a Salt Creep (get the reference?) would be a better term?
