Wanted to start a conversation with everyone.
We are always talking/comparing who has the better coral, who has better equipment, who has the biggest tank ect, but I think some of us tend to forget that we are KEEPING LIVING ANIMALS THAT ARE ENDANGERED that can potentially become EXTINCT . With that being said, what happens if the government steps in and puts a ban on our hobby in the U.S ?, import/export of all corals in the U.S would become illegal on the hobby level and we would be stuck with whatever we already have in our tanks prior to the ban. Look how easily other countries have done it and the effects it had, we are still feeling effects. With this in mind how serious are you taking your reef ? Are we just trying to grow corals for profit? Or are we trying to help the environment?
