Hi aaron L!

Thanks for your support words,

Global warming affect the reefs in a planetary scale, everybody knows that.
The reefs exploitation for tourism proposes gives us pleasure and commodity when we visit that paradises, provide income to the countries which reefs belong, but the creatures living there have no advantages at all and they are once more prejudiced.
The number of reef keepers in the world increases every year, and the reefs exploitation for commercial proposes removing live rocks, fishes, corals, invertebrates from the oceans they belong to supply the hobby all over the world also increases. This may not be the cause of the reefs destruction, but this will help, it will ...
We love the reefs, we use to say, but we need to have a new look to the reef keeping! Uff!!!
