      Man that is horrible, karma will catch one day to this person/organization or who ever is doing this kind of inhuman act. Makes me wonder if a big vendor is behind all this coward acts that hates on small business but great shops like VW reefs and Refers Garage.
      Dont give up man you will shine again pretty soon.

      We need a flash mob so we can help rebuild the shop.

      Devastating Week At Reefers! Time To Rebuild

      Wonder if you can cross reference video from VWReef if they have footage. See if someone is in both videos.

      Almost like you need closed loops on each tank. With valves to isolate each tank during business hours. That just sucks.

      I'd put huge glass barriers in front of all tanks, and have staff with laser pointers assisting each customer individually or do an appointment only deal. No customer would be able to be in contact with the tanks

      Could go membership style and require registration at the desk.

      Lol. It's not a co-op, still a great idea considering all the haters

      Membership could be free but at least would allow for you to know who is coming in the doors.
      1) I would see if VW Reefs had any video and compare mine.
      2) I would install closed loops and shut off valves to isolate each system during business hours or at least during busy busy times.
      3) I would have people register at the front desk before they could go to the aquarium. Have a FAQ explaining the reason for the membership cards.

      1.He didnt have cams up at the time., but if you know Vance he usually has 1 or 2 persons a day or week based on his schedule show up . So if someone shows up and leaves then immediately after systems start crashing....well...there you have it .
      He is a very trusting guy and when he leaves the room to go grab something he allowed that p.o.s to do their bad intentions.
      2.vance doesnt have the room really to switch over to each tank being isolated.
      3.Vance isnt allowing walk-ins anymore

      1.reefers came cabt soecificy who it was
      2.That would be a safer method for them being they would just have to repipe and add another tote under.
      3 membership would need to have a benefit otherwise it's just a security check and newer visitors would probably be detoured.nobody wants to present i.d. to get a card for a fishstore. You either have to hire the associates to be their watching otherwise you always take that risk.

      I wonder if the owner of VW Reefs could recognize anyone from the video? That is how I would go about it...but that is just me. Has Reefers Garage setup a donation page yet? Don't have any corals that I could frag yet but might be willing to toss a couple bucks out to help. Give some little perk to having a membership card and call it a day. Seems crazy to me that this is happening....who is next on the list? Wonder if it is another business or maybe a radical animal activist.

      That's what leads me to believe it's some PETA offshoot moron, or some misguided person who thinks they are acting along those lines of beliefs. As reefer I know how the loss of just about anything is heartbreaking. I hate i admit it, but I even feel for those damn aptasia's as I'm killing them off.
