Holy fish prices

I was out of the hobby for 10 years before jumping back in a few months ago. So sticker shock for me is EVERYTHING! Fish that I got for $25-50 are now $60-$200+.

Coral frags are only about double, but a lot of the "name" coral frags are ridiculously expensive.

Lots of improvements in dry goods like power heads, pumps and protein skimmers. Some are only marginally more expensive than before and others are insanely priced. The fact that black Friday sale prices were 25% off on some high end power heads and lights just shows a bit of where the industry is.
Then there's the influx of cheap Chinese products, some of which are very good.
Yea it’s rough, everything’s going up except my wages!
