    If were going along Reef Medics thinking, Id hope its a 60% price slash of all name brand equipment and a government tax credit to encourage in home conservation efforts.

    Someone has invented tank glass that is impervious to all forms of algae growth. Teflon no-stick tanks for everyone!

    The reef at the mouth of the Amazon is found to be much larger than first thought. As a result, the Great Barrier Reef is being renamed the Sorta Great Barrier Reef.

    Some of you may say, "why is this Earth Shattering"?

    There are several reasons.

    1. Blue tangs are one of the most diseased fish brought in from the wild. Buying captive bred tangs will eliminate the import of a ton of parasites and diseases.

    2. Blue tangs are one of the most imported fish from the ocean. Populations in some areas are already declining in certain areas, which will lead to future restrictions on how many can be harvested.

    3. This opens the door to breed other hard to breed fish, and more rare fish. Wouldnt it be nice to be able to buy a black tang for the same price as a yellow?
