But I bet their on-line sales were off the charts. think their server crashed a couple times.

I think because this hobby is so addicitive...when ppl do get out they've already been desperately trying to keep it going well past the point where they should have gotten out. It's a hobby that drives us to spend even if it means neglecting something else.

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.

Or it could be that their damn corals keep dying! Seriously just about emptied my tank into the backyard yesterday -lol

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*..........
