Either way, I like the large fake displays at Rainforest Cafe, etc and I would honestly hate to come in and see a real display that wasn't being taken care of, with everything dying, which is what would happen at most of these franchises and businesses if they had a real living reef.

Very true. More spats happen on the internet that would never happen in person. People read too much into posts sometimes.

As for artificial reefs, don't like them myself. I have been downright appalled (sorry if I offend anyone) by some of the displays in the Vancouver Aquarium, although totally understand their limitations and challenges. It just makes our hobby all the more rewarding, though.
