Default Our reef, and hospital

We rescued this tank in August last year, and now this is what we have.



This is our hospital, which we have never needed it for that.

No unfortuntly not. You would not want to see what it looked like. But now i don't mind showing it of a little. I was up to my eyes with work on this tank. This tank was gross, yellow like coffee urine, rocks covered with apatasia, lights, skimmer, return pump not working because there was not enough water in the sump for atleast a month. Left abandoned in an apartment to die. Landlords knew nothing obout salt water, so they tried to sell for weeks before we bought it. Nobody wanted it, but us newbies. It was our first salt.As having 12 fresh water at the time, we were pretty good on water parameters. But this is a whole different ball game. Still has the stupid sump setup, but we are making a new one. Should be ready in a few days, with a new skimmer.

You think that was bad, after a few weeks you could not see any rocks. As being new to this, we could not find out what they were. Then we did. After spending about $300 on apatasia x and joes juice, to no evail, we got a racoon buterfly. We were told that there were no guaranties on him eating them. He has cleaned up both tanks. This is the other 100g he has cleaned up. It wasn't overly bad, but bad enough.



I had put a few rocks in here and, oh oh.Then we found out. But our racoon is amazing. Even J&L's where we got him from are impressed. We even have 2 pepermints, and they don't compare to him. We figure he has eaten about 1000 easily. Now if we find any more of them of to the racoon.
