Before and After the Flames

[NanoReef]

Hey everyone. So it's been 5 months since the fires in Fort McMurray. We are finally all settled in back down south, and the new setup is finally running and stable, so I figure it's time to tell the story.

A few years ago we moved from Calgary up to Fort Mac for work (like many other Canadians) and we moved our setup up there with us. Unfortunately, like many others, we weren't able to get home from work after we got the evacuation notice as the fires were already across the highway blocking our way into town. So our tank went 5+ weeks without being looked at, and for a few weeks without power. I wanted to share what an established reef turns into when no one can care for it. Here are some before pictures
