Default destroyed vacation and tank

I moved away from my ocean , my family everything .
To start a life in Alberta . When I got home sick I sat by my tank .

Monday I left my tank in the care of my in-laws .
I went back to cape Breton for a few days to see my family for the first time in three years.

Tonight something bad happened . Worse then I could ever imagion .

The only thing they had to do was put water in the auto top off every four days and add pelts .

They didn't ask permission and started steam cleaning my floors .
I left the apartment in mint condition , super clean .

Some how they poured the bleached and soap water into the sump tank of my aquarium .

At first I was like ok keep calm , drain the auto top off department. Wash it out .

No they added it right to the sump ... They had no business adding anything to the tank .I don't understand what happened . There instructions where simple.

I'm not there I can't take everything out ... Thousands of dollars .burnt in smoke .
I'm destroyed . I'm hoping to call the pet store tomorrow and asking them to take anything that's alive until I get home .

First time home and this happens . They could never understand why I spent so much money on a fish tank ... They never understood what it ment to me. My ocean,my rock that kept me strong when I was home sick .

It took me years to finally set up this beautiful tank . Only two months ago I added everything . And thew is not enough water on tap to my a emergancy qt.

hope everyone is having a better night then me .
Sorry for the typos I cant see much out of my eyes .

Glad that Concepts can help save your livestock.

I agree with those who can't accept (or wrap my mind around) the idea that someone could be this stupid and do this "by accident". Who dumps dirty, soapy water into a fish tank or sump? Everyone knows to dump that down the toilet. I have talk special needs kids at school and they know how to do this.

Good luck sorting this whole mess out. Glad the livestock at least didn't pay the price.

Thanks everyone , and I can't wrap my head around it as I don't use chemicals in my house .
I also use tongs and things and never put my hands in the tank .
But I'm so thankful of how this hobby stick by Eachother side .
That's amazing if only the world was like our network we wouldn't have people starving out there .

Thanks everyone , I can tell your just as confused and upset as me .

Peace and love !
