    yea someone knew what they were doin. Ithink they are right that another lfs did it or a disgruntled customer maybe even a ex employee if they had any

    Agree that someone knew what they were doing. You would think that since the tanks are visibile from outside the store in the mall that there would(hopefully) be surveillance video...hope they catch who ever did it

    This kind of crime has become disturbingly frequent... it happened to a Canadian LFS in Alberta last year too (except rather than using copper, the vandals simply broke the tanks open).

    My fav LFS had a similiar problem. Some A**Ho**s put pennies in his tanks, He lost close to 20-30 thousand dollars in corals. Had to remove the substrate from every single show tank to remove and find all the pennies.

    Cases like these are a pure grudge. Just terrible.
