The closest I've come to a full tank crash was loosing a few fish in a move in my first year. But I have had a few close calls since then including "Tank sitter did something stupid".

Does doing some thing stupid during a move causing your friends tank to crash count?

I'm waiting to see if anyone's children caused a crash. My little guy is very good around the system, though I do threaten him regularly.

I had an incident many years ago when my daughter (15 now) was only about 4 or 5.. I was cleaning the canopy and stand of my 120 gallon salt tank, and I was using Murphey's wood/oil soap (the canopy and stand were oak) and the phone rang.. I ran and answered it and the moment my back was turned, my daughter poured the soapy water straight into my sump.. I watched in horror as immediately the oil soap was pumped into the tank.. The water immediately turned white.. It was freaky and awful!! I did a massive water change immediately, and let the sump do the rest (I was glad to have bio-balls back then to rinse off instead of live rock in the sump!) the sump was so powerful, that unbelievably I lost NOTHING! Unbelievable huh?
 I wish I could say the same about my other crash.. I may add that one another day.. Don't want to talk about it right now lol

Toddlers and preschoolers can be such monkeys! It's a good thing that they're so darn adorable (most of the time). My three-year-old is well behaved around our system, for the most part.
