Well, I live in atlanta - My father in law is dying of pancreatic cancer. His life was the ocean and he often visited the bahamas and keys. He is a vietnam vet and just retired from United Airlines. He has a wonderful wife but she would not be able to tend to a saltwater tank. He lives in Coral springs. I am going to drive down there and setup my 24g nano cube next to his bedside. I was hoping to find someone who who lives around there who could clean, service, stock the tank. I would pay for all items. Just need someone to take care of the tank. Please help  |

You could also check into a LFS they may have a cleaning and maint service they offer. Plus they may have cured rock to start your dad's nano tank, less of a cycle

Man, I am so sorry to hear about your Father In Law!! I am in Jacksonville in Northeast Florida or I would gladly do this for you and at no cost too!
I say this because I too am dying of Cancer. To help another in my situation would benefit us both. I wish I was closer. He is in my prayers.
