Old Californian

Okay guys Mike (my other half) wanted to try out the new place.


So now we arrive. Food smells good. We were seated just like always, (now things begin to change.)

While we were eating,( food not as good as it once was) at this location, we won't be going back.

But now back to where the fun begins, while we were eating, the employees began to gather in the front by the 150 gallon tank.

Then buckets started appearing, in about 5 minutes (litterally)(sp)
the tank was empty, and they were removing the gravel. Once the gravel was out (less than 5 minutes) they were all standing there. Then someone took the HOB filter to the kitchen to clean it.

Then the fun begins. I went to get some more crab legs and came back and Mike says, "Honey they just dumped about a half a bottle of dish soap in the tank"

We told them they shouldn't have done that, but they were just scrubbing away anyway, when the filter guy came back. When we left they were still trying to rinse the tank.

While every bucket of water that went in, just made more and more bubbles, like a huge bubble bath. Anyway the tank, looked like someone was going to take a bubble bath in it when we left. We did give them Jo-Mars phone number and suggest that they call and get some phosphate remover and declorinator before adding any fish back into the tank.

Sorry just had to share this. To bad I dropped my new camera off at home before going over there. That would have made for some good pictures.

Sounds about right to me.
Was there anything left in the old PRT tank?

If you listen really closely, you can hear water running in the background. Am I doing a water change??? Nope! That is me, WASHING MY HANDS OF THOSE PATHETIC IMBECILES!

Anyone want to take bets on how long it takes them to do any of the following???:
1. Kill all the fish they have.
2. Put freshwater fish in the saltwater tank (cuz' they're a lot cheaper and hell, a fish is a fish right???)
3. Do to the SW tank, what they did to the FW tank--- soap bubbles and all! (Hey! Come to think of it, what the hell do they think they are doing???? I'm the only one allowed to use dishwashing detergent in my aquariums!!! Pathetic copy-cat amateurs!-- Of course, they obviously do not understand the concept of DILUTION!!)

Of course, the ultimate question is:
How long will it be before they seek the help of people who actually know what they are doing and once they find out what the maintenance will cost them-- How long before we can get our hands on those glass boxes at midnight madness sale prices???

Hey you left out using table salt to make saltwater for the SW tank!

the 55 on the counter behind the registar was sparkling clean, almost full of water and the filter was running full blast. the new owner did seem to know his was around the hob filter.
