The show just started, and its discussing coral disease that is currently affecting the Hawaiian coral reefs....pretty interesting so far

Seen it last night in HD. Pretty sad how much humans are destroying this planet.

Actually we as reefers do have a great deal to account for in terms of reef destruction.
That's why I don't buy wild caught fish or corals

There was a good show on the science channel about the great barrier reef, we're killing it too....

This is why I am deciding whether or not I want to set up my new 56 in salt. I could go with captive reared fish, but....... It makes me sick to see so many fish and corals that are taken from the reef not even make it to the dealers tanks. I wonder what the numbers taken do not survive. Those fish could still be on the reef. I have very mixed feelings as I love the hobby, but realize our hobby does make an inpact how great or small on natural reefs. I'm by no means an activist, but shows like this make you stop and think...what are we doing just to keep a slice of the ocean in our homes.
