I finally divorced her last March and I felt so relieved....for about 2 weeks. Then I broke my whole body.:mad: | Sorry to hear that. Ive also had experience with schizophrenia, but its one of my siblings whom i love to death, so i definately cant divorce 
As far as the tank goes, i used to have it in the billiard/entertainment room which has its own set of electrical panels (in the room). When i went down to feed the fish, i found that the power had been cut off for almost 24 hours in the dead of winter. Water was ice cold, and everything died 
I now have the tank in my room so that i can keep a close eye on it. Also, i have a 1500watt ($500) UPS in case the power ever cuts again.

Huum I have been pretty fortunate I did way back in the mid 70's a company called Nectonics who was the state of the art marine suppliers at that time actually the only supplier came out with a instant marine tank (: {Biozonic} No cycling no waiting add the freeze died bacteria today and fish in 24 hrs. I used it and it worked as advertised I thought. I had a Red sea Emperor in it and it was beautiful fish A Henicious and a Butterfly went to work one morning came home and all was belly up.. I added them slowly over about 3 to 4 weeks and it went south at about 6 weeks ):
In-wall I feel your pain , I set my son up with a nice little reef and his crazy wife got pissed he had to work over one night and poured Liquid soap into the tank.. About 4,000 down the drain It was full of LPS and softs and a few sps also. I totally under stand you being broken up also ): Been there and still wear that T shirt.  But in the reality of life a fish tank is a simple problem at most.. _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |

I guess that would make you wonder if god was trying to tell you something??? I know i would be asking myself that question.
I hope you get better soon and all your aches and breaks go away!!
