This approach seems... to defeat the purpose of reef keeping. The world reefs are in danger and we as reefers need to do our best to ensure that we stock wisely and conscientiously to ensure we do not purposely stress or kill fish and corals.
If we remove fish from the ocean with the attitude that "they come and go"... it hurts nature.
There are a lot of LFS out there that do not care about this and will continue stocking fish that are not suitable to make a quick buck. But as reefers we do not need to follow this same path.
Fish are animals too. And amazing animals OR NONE OF US WOULD HAVE A TANK!!!!
Try keep the worlds reef systems in mind. If you think its a bad idea for one reason or another... then it probably is.
Not dumping on you Reefwars.... but I have a sweet spot for the reef... and part of me is sad thinking about the fish I have lost in the past due to my own inexperience and poor advice received.
Some of you probably saw the post about BC somewhere trying to make salt fish banned. Do you wonder why? It is because of things like this.
Reef wisely and it will be a rich experience. Reef poorly and you will only be poor.
Sorry for the rant.
