Default Pain
LFS set up a 300+ tank at a local nursery.

Went by to look at it yesterday, and saw that some employee tried to scrape off glass algae with a sand covered mag float.

Not just in one place, but scratches everywhere.

Hurt my eyes.

Will not return to that nursery any time soon.

Moral of story I guess, "Don't leave tank in hands of the ignorant."

The co-owner at my LFS is NEVER there...literally.
Last time he was there, he tried to clean via magfloat...you can see where he went down to the sand...then back up scratching the NICE 600g acrylic tank.
