I don't care if someone's reef looks natural or if it looks contrived and of mixed biotopes. I do hope that people will make ethical choices when stocking their tanks. Take a good look at the pictures and tell me that the owner of that tank has read about, and understands, what impact this hobby has. Because none of us "really" come close to replicating a natural setting doesn't mean that we don't have a moral obligation to provide the best care and make reasonably ethical choices when stocking a tank.

Do we have a say in what others keep in their "boxes"? Nope. But hopefully we can educate people (through mediums like this) and stop people from selling dyed corals and (next to) impossible to keep, slow growing corals. That is perfectly within our capabilities and is the reason we seek to help and educate one another on these boards. And if we can't educate them, we should bash their brains in and run them out of their respective countries [img]smile.gif[/img] . Spare the rod, spoil the child or so the saying goes.
