I sometimes wonder what I would do without all the work and effort I put into my tanks!
Oh and the freedom!

I think it's just that time of year. Early winter, and early summer. People seem to ditch at those times.

Lance you scared the ____ out of me with this title. I'm so relieved to hear it's just you asking why!!

If there's one thing I've noticed over the years though, is that people come and go in bursts. Probably as speculated the economic climate is a big driver currently, but it could also be coincidence.

Sorry Tony. Didn't mean to scare the skimmate out of you. (I couldn't leave you big fella) Without Canreef I'd just be sitting in front of the TV petting the wife's beagle.............. *shudder*..........

I find around christmas and mid to end summer.. the christmas cycle is when people realize how much there tanks are costing them as they don't have much left over to buy what they wanted to.. and the summer one is after the heat waves come and there are big die offs.. then you have to decide to start again or quit.

has happened every year for the last 9 or 10 that I have been watching.
