It is a MASSIVE location with quite a few tanks, but the crumby thing was that they were to opening a whole other section of saltwater tank next week,
i suppose that will have to take a back seat Quote:

Doubtful that it's a competitor. My guess is "tragic accident" but if it was malicious intent it wouldn't have been a competitor as the overwhelming driving factor for being in the business in the first place is the love of the livestock. If a vendor had it in for another vendor, they wouldn't choose the innocent livestock as the chosen forum.
Very sad no matter what.

Ouch it's hard to imagine this happening to someone. I hope business insurance covers this?

Maybe its some crazed PETA activist gone-off-the-deep-end. Its sad and disheartening.
Its hard to imagine they had all their tanks on one system. And coral tanks plumbed into fish tanks? Kind of weird. Maybe it was some something airborne?

Thanks for the links Garry, just playing devils advocate but the news story said that there currently was a large insurance claim taking place, the only person who could actually turn out profiting from this is would be the petstore itself... And in CSI... thats MO (Insert Horatio Caine crouch down, take off sun glasses and say something witty)
Who ever did it that's disgusting, I can only desperately hope that it was an accident.

Had to be something in the air or cross contamination, as it affected the marine fish, coral, and freshwater fish.
freshwater & marine wouldn't be on the same system, si it was deliberate, also the bleach smell in the back room is suspicious. Maybe a staffer spilled bleach or acid accidently. That shows the importance of video cameras, I know I installed them for thesafety of my staf & livestockneve know what people might do. 5 month old store too, makes it seem more suspicious, as the low season is about to start. Just my observatiions. Ken
