    I moved your thread over to the Reefkeeping discussion area...great topic!

    What types of things are you referring to? Are you thinking ecological or husbandry or...? Maybe an example to start us off?

    well jim....for instance...there is a question about animals in copper water which i guess would be husbandry....another about "should we be removing critters from the ocean....which would be ecology, " how about lfs willing to sell a jellyfish kinda knowing that it will probably get stuck in a filter? i mean there has to be ethics..right?

    maybe this thread should read," husbandry ethics of reef keeping"

    the reason for this posting is being a newbie at reefkeeping it is very very easy to get in over your head....and fail the husbandry test. this stuff is so glamourous and can quickly become an obsession,,,,and with nobody physically checking out your ecology and relying on cr or google via pc its a wonder these reefs make it past cycling. dont get me wrong cr is GREAT ! it will help me out loads and the few friends i have talked to at my lfs have steered me well.

    this is a serious topic for we all have an obligation to ensure the safety and well being of the critters we possess
    should i repost?
