I had a fire from el-cheapo powerstrips. Details are here. Fire Safety
However, my biggest problem was a wife who was not only Bi-Polar, she also had Early-Onset Schizophrenia. She got mad that I had to stay out of town an extra two days so she bleached every single tank and killed all those poor innocent animals. She also killed about $4,000 worth of bonsai trees.  I finally divorced her last March and I felt so relieved....for about 2 weeks. Then I broke my whole body.:mad: _________ Curt  | |

Leaving town and trusting someone that has no experience with aquariums. Other than that getting a good amount of flow through the tank. | |
