    Thanks everyone!!!!

    LOL....try NONE thus far.


    Here was one of my fun discoveries of the day. The 600 gallon (750 with sump) demo tank had hair algae of unimaginable proportions. Phosphates were OUTRAGEOUS!!! I knew the number of fish that have been in the system so how on earth were the phosphates so high??? It was filled and topped off with RO/DI water. Basically, the store manager had put a protein skimmer in the sump but never fully assembled it and never turned it on. :confused: Basically, it was brand new except for being wet.

    LOL Scott. I could give you prices like you would never imagine. However, after adding the 3 dollars per gallon price you would have to pay, you would have to buy a lot of fish/corals to break-even on the trip. ;D

    Wow, I bet you are exhausted. Taking care of one tank is one thing but a whole store and one that's falling apart, that's a whole different story. It was really nice, thoughtful, and kind of you to do this, most people would have walked out the door. U deserve lots of Karma, in life and on this forum!
