Disease would be my downfall. I had a marine velvet outbreak a few years ago (my ex added a fish without my knowledge from a lfs everyone knows to stay away from) and it ended up killing almost all my fish. Not a total crash but there was many losses.

What is the definition of a tank crash. I have always thought of it as something happening that starts a domino effect where you end up losing everything and have to restart from scratch.
I have never had a tank crash unless losing more then half the fish stock to a disease counts as a crash......

Ya ready for my list?
1. First encounter with velvet, killed everything but I was green and didnt even notice it 2. Tank broke 3. Ex-GF killed my 2 large volitans, mini crash as 100% fish died 4. Land lord poisoned tank with ant spray 5. Hair algea took over so I shut down, put corals in another tank and heater cooked that tank 6. Mom overdosed Alk/VSV 7. And just recently I lost a bunch of very rare expensive fish due to a combo of moving stress, bad infestations and suspected bad meds
