i really hate people who set up an aquarium for the fun of it and when they get too lazy to clean or find that they cannot maintain it, they just give up like nobody's busines.
but do these people realise that they are putting a fish's life or even the seemingly daed looking coral on the line? do they realise the trouble to catch (or even breed) these livestock before they even enter the shops? NO
worse still, they join SRC unknowingly that the motto is "responsible reefkeeping".
and not only people, shop owners plunge into this area only to find that they cannot use traditional methods to keep these livestock. this results in so many FW turned Marine shops having dying stuff. worse if the owner teaches newbies hoe to set-up or gave the green light to buy an anemone afer 2 days of cycle.
it really pains me to step into a LFS and see corals bleached, clams with damaged bassal "foot" or fishes lying one side up on the bottom of tanks. something really has to be done.
