My worst problem was on a 48x24x24 I had way back in OZ I decided it was time to DIY some acrylic HOB Skimmer it lasted the most of a week.
I came home from work to find a huge salt lake in my rented apptment hehe! the carpet was a mess and the tank half empty. My lack of experiance with acrylic was my undoing the ass dropped out and the rests history.

had no tank losses just a moral drop!!!
The stupid thing is that back then I had a huge sump with more spare room in it then you could poke a stick at !!!!
But no internet back then for checking great sites like this one for good info.
