Vacation Horror Stories

[Mesa fish]

Oh man... Went on vacation, I had a trio of potters angels. Really hard to do, got along great. They were the only inhabitants in the 54 corner.

I came home and they were all dead. Maintenance turned off the switch near the tank that everything was plugged in to..

Years ago I had a red mandarin goby that ate flakes and anything you can name. HUGE fish, gorgeous male.

I left for a week and came back and my neighbor was so upset because the fish died, the heater took a dump and started electrocuting the water also if I recall. I lost tons of rare zoa frags and other corals too.

Your neighbor is messed up.

When going to MACNA get enough stuff to fill your whole tank, because when you get back there'll be a lot of new room!

This could be very true!

I hope the lot of you have renter's/home insurance that covers accidental flooding and fire! My biggest fear is that I come to a burned down house. The house we are currently renting is ancient. We've had a few issues with the electrical. Burned out light switches, burned out light sockets, and the occasional half the house goes dark. Hopefully the electricians who came out fixed things as they should've.

I am on vacation right now too. I still have 2 weeks to go and I sadly miss my tanks when I am gone. My mom comes over every two days and she is super paranoid that she will mess something up. She has flat out told me that if a fish dies in my predator tank she isn't netting it out b/c she is afraid of my lionfish.
