I've seen some crap in my time but these tanks were weird.

There was a distinctive no grow zone about 6" from the walls and the whole root mass was floating about 6" off the bottom. Bobbed when probe pressure was exerted from the top. This was almost as if it had at one time dehydrated or shrunk to current size.

They got a quote for $250.00 to remove both masses and clear the lines, we'll see, not me!
