Insurance on your investment

How many of you have your aquarium in your insurance policy? This may not matter so much to those of you with nano setups, but could you imagine 50+ gallons of water on your floor in a worst case scenario?

Have you thought about what you would do in a situation where your aquarium gave out? Are you protected financially? What precautions have you taken to prevent a blow out that perhaps others like me could benefit from hearing?

I do it was part of my tenancy, that I had to buy insurance, its actually fairly cheap and you can cover everything, better to be safe the sorry! Especially since I have 100 gallon aquarium, and am getting a 40, with a sump, lol thats a lot of water in an apartment, luckily I'm in a cemented building!

I never even thought of this! I'm calling my insurance company tomorrow, considering I flooded my kitchen last week filling water bottles and forgot about them....I've asked Santa for an ATO...Thanks for bringing this up!
