Had a few incidents over the years. Some were equipment failures (GFCI trip in one case, lost a pair of flame angels in the affected tank - they were the only fish in there), and some were livestock reasons and not necessarily "tank crash" but still fit the posted definition (had an extremely large H. magnifica anemone for many years that was capable of killing off an entire tank of fish if it so much as burped. In fact, the reason I sold it after close to a decade of caring for it was that it was just too lethal for my tastes ).

my 3 year old dumped an entire can of fish food in my 33 gallon. I had to do a 90 % water change and all I lost was a starfish and a torch coral. My clown fish were laying on the sand gasping and they bounced back. I couldn't believe how resliant everything was.

I've had some close calls that had done a real number on a couple of my tanks, but nothing that totalled the entire tank fortunately.

And now that I have voted, I am sure to go home to a completely dead tank!

Interesting results, for some reason I was expecting the number of people who have had a tank crash to be higher. Basically it looks like 2 out of three people who responded have never had one.
