Video Games Vs. Aquariums - who's winning?

Saltwater System for Wii System

Wanting to trade my saltwater system for a Wii system. The saltwater tank is a full system all you would need is corals and fish I will even help you setup the system at your house. The tank comes with.....

29gal Tank 30L,19H,12W
Stand
Live Rock
Live Sand
Lighting
Skimmer
Power Head
Background

And maybe a coral or two depending on what comes with the Wii system.


Seems pretty clear to me that the decade+ long issue of "video games" replacing aquariums has yet to be solved. :(

So what IS the INDUSTRY doing to preserve the HOBBY that it depends on?

FWIW,

Matt

I can't answer your question Matt, but I'd probably take the Wii over that setup myself. :wink:

What I think is funny is that if the Wii doesn't contain enough accessories, the guy is
going to withhold the corals. hahah
Where is he going to KEEP them if he holds out...in his bathtub? A desk drawer?
