The Tank is looking pretty good.
have you talked to the owner about doing something about bottom of the tank?

Paint that brickwall black!!! That blue makes the place look like a daycare.. I mean this is a gym for adults right? What kind of powerheads are those?? K4s? Tank trim and backwall should be black too..

thank you!
btw- i added a nice bright green leather and a symphyllia brain, and a few more fish (bi color pseudo, algae blenny, one of his old blue damsels.
what i failed to report here was that the tank had a massive green water outbreak. i tried waterchanges and it just got worse. i tried shutting off the lights for a few days, but as soon as i turned them back on...whamo! green water again. it was so bad, it looked like one of those green light sticks.
i ended up adding a uv sterilizer, and it was gone in 3 days. i'm not into uv's for reefs, but this tank is a bit different. a few people have their hands in it. i'm gonna keep the uv on.

Sounds like an alage bloom, That is such a hard thing to get rid of, I delt with it on a freshwater years ago.

you might want to ask for an extra few bucks each month if you could feed the fish yourself. That would save a lot of heartache.
My last account I had threw in 30 damsels and two tomato clowns on top of a sailfin tang, flame angel, purple pseudochromis, pink spotted goby, engineer goby, candy stripe cardinal, ocellaris clown, and a few others. (225g tank). Then they made the tank snow in flake food six times a day (keeping the fish fed) and when the tank broke out in a serious case of cyanobacteria they blammed it on me, and I lost that account. After I had advised them not to do that and that the tank needed more funding etc. etc.
Oh well, good luck to yah! Taking care of aquariums in businesses is a PITA.
