We're building a new house, and had a 230 planned in, but now... we're going to shut down our tanks in the next month or so and not replace them in the new joint. As to why...
1) The "tether" effect. We can only go so far or so long without making arrangements.
2) the green scene. The electricity a reef tank burns is starting to feel wrong, not to mention that all of my fish except my clowns are wild-caught. I'm not buying any new fish lately, but I still feel the pang. One in my tank = how many dead in the ocean or along the way?
3) The constant threat or reality of another crisis of some kind: flood, algae, diatoms, Ca crashes...
4) Plain old fashioned hobby fatigue.
Stay tuned for a couple of "for sale" threads soon!
