I'd like to see these tanks in Calgary that can cause 2 million dollars in damages

I don't think a broken tank would cause that much damage, but lets say the tank tips over on someone, injuring or killing them? Then the liability would be needed, probably not enough though in today's world.

I don't offer tank services, but being a business owner in the internet realm, I carry 10 million in liability. Just in case.

I think any business owner, no matter the product or service should protect themselves. It is just a cost of doing business.

So Tony, when I post the footage I have of you, please sue me and then we can split it! OOOOPS, was that my outside voice?

Its not always the size of the tank...its where it is... decent size tank in a penthouse goes, and you have 4 stories worth of issues.

Plus the price difference between 1 mill and 2 mill was like nothing...and its much more baller to say 2 mill. lol

Plus you can never be covered for too much.

Default On a side note...

I wonder if my liability insurance would cover my house if something went wrong with my 500 gal?

Probably not, but that is what your house insurance is for. I also agree, can't have too much coverage.
