They're probably like, "where are we?" Poor fish! I did see the bubbles in the front too but don't see any kind of filter.

That's cause you can't see the rear glass of the tank.
It's a million pound question on the existence of a filter!!

wow... look what I started. I guess I wasn't the only one upset by this. I didn't even tell ya'll the guy said " I have been thinking about trying saltwater." I always kept really clean freshwater tanks and I am struggling in SW. Some people are crazy.

Any chance the next time your back there ... can you verify if there actually is a filter ... or does the air-bubble rod "pass" for a filter in his world?

Well to be honest, hopefully I never have to go back out there. If I did my job right my goal is to never see a customer again. Not to give out to much info... but I do troubleshooting on internet and phone systems.

I think we should donate those fish to science ... if they can survive in that pea soup they must have one heck of an immune system .. They might be the secret to the cure for all ailments!

My science teacher brought in this little junky tank for a ADF and it died, so he just leaves the tank all full and stuff sitting there. By the end of the year, the water was gone and the plastic was stained green. You couldn't even see what was inside!

That just reminded me ... for the 1st couple of years at my school, there was this old, nasty looking 10gal .. I think it had a fish in it? I remember the tank had calcium scale build up all over it. ughhh ... your post just made me remember that. The more I think about it ... it may be possible the water was greener than the sorry excuse for an aquarium that started this thread. 
HOWEVER ... in the name of science, we should donate the water so they can harvest the untold number of algae to convert it to fuel  ,
