Sorry, I did not take this picture but another family member. This tank has been in this or similar conditions for a while now. Not sure who is taking care of this, if anyone at all...

There is a urchin so looks like someone is atleast trying from the new pictures. Maybe you can find out who is responsible for it and offer to give them a hand.
 
There are living anemones and “living” hammers, so the salinity is probably within “ok”- and the algae is helping reduce nutrients.

At least it’s not like the Cupertino Library one. It’s such a nice tank but the way they treat it is such a shame.

If you guys saw the water test results and the equipment room behind it you would agree lol
 
Spoke to them about this tank since this is where I take my daughter for her appointments. Offered to revamp the tank and drop by to do periodic maintenance, at no cost, even though Kaiser literally prints money. The person in charge never got back to me. It’s serviced by a company. Can’t remember the name. I suggested they fire the maintenance company and hire someone more competent.

All these animals are no longer alive unfortunately.

That was very generous of you - it would take quite some time and effort to get this back into shape.

They should make a decision to either discontinue the tank or improve. I am not sure if us reefers make looking at this sad or the average person feels the same way. I do not think it achieves its desired objective for Kaiser.
