Tank Crashes

[Carson.]

Ever experienced a tank crash, what caused it?

Once, had a tank that was 6 years old. I stop doing water changes once i notice i didn't need to. It when on for another 5 or 6 years or so. Then one day the light die. I didnt have a replacement or the money for a used one at the time. Used a table lamp for a week before i get a replacement but that was too late...

Thats a real shame. All the coral died, what were you keeping? Did everything else do okay, like the fish? Im gonna go do a water change, thanks

I have had a heater explode and leak nasty crap into the tank killing most everything. I also have lost power for a week and had a tank die off.

BRS claims thats one of the most common causes of tank crashes. Heater failure in general

The only crash I had was due to a heater failure of some sort. Heater separated & caused the GFI plug to trip. I was away from the house for a long weekend... temp in the tank was down to around 60F.

I think the only thing that survived was a RBTA.

Thats a shame, how old was the tank? I've never used an aquarium controller, have you considered using or since purchased one?

Heater blew up and can’t remember the name something Pro and it took me out

How old was the heater?

It was only a couple years old but they put out a recall on them and that was a few years ago now
