    LMAO. Yeah, I agree, I would be totally devastated it if were my tank. But at the same time this video is hilarious. Its even funny the 4th time over. Nothing funnier than others misfortunes captured on youtube. I am a horrible person.

    The lights on my 180 shorted and set my house on fire. The fish were fine since they were in water, so does this technically count as a tank catastrophe?

    anxiety is rising while reading this thread... I have this fear my 3 year old is going to break my tank. Somehow he will be the death of my tank. EVERYONE in the family knows to watch his every move...

    He didn't kill off my tank, but one time while in the restroom he got into the paper shredder and made it "SNOW" for the fish... Another time while in the restroom he decided to climb up and put drops from my testing kits in... I had green water for a day and a half.

    What have I learned from this.. I don't take showers without him locked in the bathroom or make sure someone is watching him...
