New Humane Society!
 
Went to the grand opening, really nice place.. HOWEVER.. they have a salt water set up that is HORRIBLE.. I wish I could have found someone there to talk to.. Horrible algea build up on the rocks.. all the snails were dead and moldy in the tank... a few fish swam around... not exactally something I would want to show on an opening weekend.. that makes me a little sad...

Wonder if it was a "rescue"?

Flash 05-31-2009 11:03 PM

lol! I hope not! usually there are signs on it saying "donated by" or something but there was nothing... nice big tank wood stand and canopy.

noirsphynx 05-31-2009 11:08 PM

I was there too. It would be such a nice tank if they would find someone to properly take care of it.

Probably water from the tap.

lol I use tap water and my tank sure doesn't look like that... I really hope they take care of it.. there are about 6 fish in there that are going to end up dead!

Hey Bean

Maybe some of us should go over and fix the thing....

lol! I was thinking that!!! but who knows if they would let us? we could sure make it sweet! i should have taken a picture

Snaz 05-31-2009 11:46 PM

For sure they would love your help, don't expect them to be able to buy supplies though as their budgets are razor thin. I volunteered as a dog walker way back for BCSPCA and had a great time. Good people.

e-mail ehs@edmontonhumanesociety.com <ehs@edmontonhumanesociety.com>

well then honestly maybe that's one project they should not have started to take on and they should surrender the livestock... it's a big tank... if they cannot maintain it there is no point in having it.

fencer 05-31-2009 11:56 PM

I would help ....to save the tank or make sure anything alive stays that way...

naesco 06-01-2009 12:03 AM

just do it
 
Hey, fellas, get together and make it happen.
You will feel really good about it and your wives/girlfriends will think you are real heros

Flash 06-01-2009 12:17 AM

i cannot afford supplies to maintain it.. but maybe we could see if there is a LFS that may sponsor us??? I am horrible with e-mails.. but can someone help me draw up a letter to the humane society asking permission??? I can put in help on weekends.. I work everyday until 4:30 so if they are open after that... seems like a good idea!

Snaz 06-01-2009 12:26 AM

Try something like this:

"
To whom it may concern,
We/I enjoyed the opening of the new location at …. A couple of experienced marine tank enthusiasts noticed that the large saltwater fish tank was in desperate need of maintenance and care. We/I can volunteer our time to make this tank healthy and beautiful if you’re interested, We/I can be reached at Someone@yahoo.com
Thank you,

"

Sounds like a good idea, I would probably (depending on date) be able to help out if there was a group of us going into the project.

BlueWorldAquatic 06-01-2009 04:19 PM

Get some information on this, if they allow you guys to do it. I'll be happy to donate some supplies to make it better.

Post a date and I'll see if I can help.

howdy20012002 06-01-2009 11:31 PM

i will do what i can as well

mark 06-02-2009 02:39 AM

They spent millions on their new building but can't be bothered to maintain a tank. Maybe they should just give up the tank.

Boomboy 06-03-2009 01:08 AM

my wife works in the huge building across the street. im sure we could make it turn out pretty nice, i would love to lend a hand. i bet we could make it nice in no time. maybe a ats ( algea turf scrubber) cheap way of algae control. i love diy kind of stuff. i am definatly in, if there is still room

oilfieldsafety 06-09-2009 07:06 PM

I can help out as well when I am in town.

noirsphynx 06-09-2009 07:13 PM
