Has the pandemic affected your tank or how you care for it?

Anyone noticed how prices for fish/corals etc has sky rocketted since the pandemic. Mainly due to shipping costs?

After the pandemic hit the coral/fish/invert trade came to a standstill basically over night. Now that things are slowly starting up shipping is a part of the cost but now so is availability of livestock. Legal farmers and suppliers are trying to meet world wide demand and while before the pandemic it was somewhat sustainable now there are shortages of even common livestock.

It’s going to be awhile before things go back to normal and as long as there isn’t a world wide shutdown again things should go back to near normal in about a year or so.
