Hello All,
I chose to write you to you today about an Increasing issue throughout our hobby.
It is as simple as one word: Price.
Countless times have I seen people discouraged or choosing not to join the hobby, because equipment, corals and fish have become so expensive. This discourages so many new hobbyists, especially youth.
Recently I have realized that adding livestock to my tank in the past year has become much more expensive.
Just last year I bought two Wp-25 power heads for $60, just this past Monday I payed $80 for one.
Is the coral name game driving the price up (one of my opinions), or is it something else? I'd love to hear!
I wrote this thread in hopes for ALL people to share their opinions on this matter with no JUDGING or any HATE against others. Especially because you do not know what situation others are in...
Thanks all,
Hope to hear your opinions on this.
(please note: I am not complaining about prices, just looking for what people think on the issue).
