Good one on you Goodisor!
Thanks for the poll Warr......
Personally - I think that there is indeed SOME impact, as this "crisis" has forced a lot of LFS's and even our sponsors, to sell marine related life stock, as well as hardware for "more expensively".
Personally, because I think that keeping marines, is quite a "niche" hobby (not status related = just specialist, ie "niche"), that the economy will have a limited impact on marine/reefkeepers....
YES - it WILL have SOME impact if the life-stock/hard-ware becomes more expensive.... people will either think twice of purchasing this, BUT, they would have only purchased these items in ANY case, IF they had extra money.....
Personally, I think that the "SCUBA diving" fraternity has had a FAR bigger impact due to the current economic situation, than the marine/reefkeeper fraternity...
