    Worst luck ever


    I took the tank in because i saw how bad the condition was. I should have taken the puffer only.

    Felt really bad for the puffer. It seems like they never heard of a water change with filtering the sand
    LR is infested with aiptasia.
    Light fixture is a 4 bulb fixture. 2 bulbs were working at their house. 1 broke. smoke started comming out of the wiring. only one bulb works now.

    I dropped the cascade canister filter. Broke the part holding the magnetic propeller.

    Tanks silicone is starting to peal off.

    this is gonna be alot of work
