Getting out of the hobby.

[Mr.nintendo]

I'm considering getting out of the hobby, not because of the price ( which is high and I have had my fair share of issues ) but because of the impact on the enviroment and issues with mass quantities of dead livestock.

I started the tank because I have a strong affinity for the ocean and it's beauty... I now question whether or not I can provide any money to an industry that is still so destructive. I'm probably one of the only ones in here hoping the stricter export bylaws go into effect quick.

I know I could buy locally propagated but regardless of my individual choices I still am required to support LFS and companies that may not feel the same way. It's a fun hobby and I certainly enjoy the work, but it's easy to understand in these times why people can't keep it up
