Count Me IN
I would love to be able to shop at a store that was conscious of the environmental and ecological concerns! I think most people would be.
Bye, keana

Environmentally friendly is always good (everything helps). But realistically I wouldn't use it as a foundation to start a reef business on. Lets face it, in regards to this hobby ecologically/environmentally conscious is almost an oxymoron.

Yes I would be interested in buying from this store.
Realistically though a store like this doesn't have a chance in hell. Among serious hobbyists there are two stores in the Vancouver area that have a lock on the business, one more for equipment supplies and fish and the other more for corals. For casual hobbyists who don't know any better there are the mega-stores selling stuff too. When you look at the investment of time money and effort I don't think it is worthwhile opening a new reef store in the Vancouver area. It can only lead to grief. Sorry I don't want to sound discouraging but think up another business plan.

This thread makes me wonder what my tank's carbon footprint is.

I would have to say 90% of the stores out there are already this way. It is far easlier to get corals from a farm than wild caught. I'd have to say the current stores do a good job already.
It's all about demand. J

I don't think that the existing stores are doing a good enough job of explaining WHERE their items come from and HOW they are obtained. I suspect that they aren't proud of it, or don't know for sure and therefore don't talk about it much.
