Tank Crash
I my self in my 10 years experience with keeping saltwater fish and corals have never experienced a major crash. I have had some losses like everyone else but I don't like to tempt the all mighty or taunt him. I would preffer to be humble and try to cover all my bases. I don't think its possible to cover it all but I try. I have a spare pump for my latest 210, spare heaters for all my tanks and spare filter parts for all my tanks. Given the area that I live in and even the weather conditions outside right now (high winds) I have a generator and soon a 20,000$ (managed to get it for free) upc backup system with inverters that will provide enough juice for 12 hours to run my tanks. I had three power outages last year one 3 hour, one 16 hour and one that was 36 hours. Anyone remember the problem the city of Vancouver had with the water turbidity last year due to run off. I would like to see how your water purification systems would like that. They would probably plug up pretty quick.
Long story short I think that no matter how hard we try to cover all our bases its that one thing you don't think of that will bite you in the end maybe not tommorow or next year but it is going to happen sometime in the span of your life.
Thanx
Sean
