destroyed vacation and tank

[darkreef]

It was the only thing I had that kept me sane .
Iv never seen 10 grand burn up so fast .
My heart hurts . I don't even clean in my apartment with anything but vinegar .
For my cats and tanks sake . (Cat has allergies that effect his eyes)

That tank was part of the family , each coral and fish had a meaning and purpose .
It felt like I lost my entire family. Going to be very hard to finish my vacation .
I'm just glad I'm around the people I love.. but that only fills the hole so long .

All they had to do was put fresh water in the auto top off , I don't understand how someone could screw that up .

Wow. Just wow. So very sorry for your loss. Shocking thread to read.

What was their thinking though? Seems just to big of a mistake to make.

Some updates , they were up till 6 this morning emptying the sump.
I recommend primer for this case ... Because I only have 15 gallons in storage .
There going to buy heaters and get the sump to temperature . Before starting the pumps.

No update on live stock ...
I really thought I'd wake up and this be just a bad nightmare .

All I dreamt about last night was my happy cowfish ... Not so happy .

I'm really sorry this happened to you, but unless they are mentally disabled this was a deliberate attack on you.

Maybe you don't want to discuss this on a forum but you mention inlaws, and how they never understood how you'd spend money on the tank. Without any knowledge of the situation I would guess they don't like you married to their child or just hate you for some other reason.

Again real sorry this happened, I can't imagine how devastating. I know this is Canada, not America, but maybe you can consider taking legal action against them? No idea if you would have any kind of case (when you hire a tanksitter they usually have insurance), but this is not some kind of mistake, its a malicious attack on you, and what you love.

Great job Concept!!!

[Slyguy00]

Now that is some service! Says alot about concept.

I agree with slyguy. The guys over at concepts probably had thought that since there were chemicals in the water. The live rock and water would of gone bad and the tank needed to be re cycled anyways? So assuming that they saved what they could.

Look at the bright side at least your corals and fish are alive. Go concepts!

The only work on our end was taking fish and corals in , we did give a list of things to do but I didn't think they would do it they really knew nothing about aquariums so I'm sure they were afraid to do anymore it's prob best they didn't do too much.

now you get a fresh start, new sand and landscaping. when its all over you can look back and be glad thats behind you. kudos to the aquarium shop that helped you
