So, we ran to the store and left my 12 year old step-son home alone. Apparently he decided he would "help" with the tanks, dumped a bunch of pellets in both QT tanks and what he said was a "handful" of salt directly into the DT [emoji30][emoji30]

It's 120 gallons, so it didn't effect the salinity overall...but we have a bunch of ticked off SPS and LPS. Polyps-in and sliming up a storm. Running carbon and did a quick 25g water change (that's what we had mixed already), and blew off the corals with a turkey baster to make sure no salt is sitting on them. I think the gold hammer and torch might have ate some...they look the worst.

Any other tips? Thanks...
 
Sounds like you've done all you can. Velcro wall maybe so you can stick the small one to it.

Lol, might be tough...he's as big as me. Although, I bet if I told him NOT to jump on it he would stick himself voluntarily [emoji23]
 
My 10 year old has his own sps reef tank but he's been around the hobby his whole life. my 20 month old and 4 year old now that's a different story. nothing like hey dad you seen my ipod then noooooooooo and I see my mandarin picking pods off it.
