Is the reefing community cooling down?

[ReefOC]

I may shut down another tank or two myself. No one comes over to visit anymore, and I don’t need all these coral. I used to give away a lot, now I can’t even do that. The only tank I would never get rid of is my fowlr.

Where are you located?

cost of living is way more now days, keeping tanks is extra monthly (unnecessary) cost

Well

That certainly is true

I started my fish salt tank in 2012 and made a laundry list of mistakes. 75 gallon with a HOB siphon that dumped probably 1000 gallons of water on my floor over the years

I took it down in 2023 due to moving and last week finally started my 200 gallon I’ve been planning for years. Planning on applying what I learned and asking questions as I go!

As far as covid..it had a lot of people jump into hobbies now that they were wfm etc. as an avid fishermen it was awful going out during peak covid. I still fish as much as I can but definitely don’t miss the crowds and littering.
