Currently i am in the process of selling off all of my equipment and corals, but my main concern is weather or not the hobby will be just as enjoyable in europe. is there the same amount of great corals and exotic fish available? and also will i be able get access to companies like vortech and other great aquarium companies with european plugs? please help! Thanks

Much of the research on saltwater tanks and equipment has been done in Europe, particularity Germany. The EU has been getting stricter on fish and coral imports, but I suspect there are still good shops to be found.
