Is lossing your tank Coral or fish an inevitability

[Tom R]

I hope not and with the additions of safety equipment (generators, water top off etc) we are able to cover off for some of the possible catastrophes. I do believe that even with our day to day diligence we will still suffer loses even some seeming to be unexplained. One of our most major problems is to be able to maintain our daily (tweaking) routines that ensure the attention to detail necessary to maintain the level of our salt water environments. When we become busy with family or work or go on holidays our tanks become vulnerable. We usually ask one of our family members to watch over our tanks. We even set them up with backup help from our most trusted friends with the reffing community, however this is still not the same as the constant attention that we put into our tanks on a daily basis.
