Do you guys ever have dreams of your aquariums crashing? I have them here and there. I think i get them more when i read of someone elses tank crashing, Had a dream last night my skimmer went crazy and next thing i knew my whole tank was full of bubbles like one giant skimmer. Water all over the place, couldnt stop it. Then i woke up and had to go check on my tank just to be sure. Any one else?

Every morning I come downstairs and mistake my clean shiny floor for a wet one... I have to put my feet on the tile to ensure it's dry. Too many times I've come down to a wet floor.

nightmare you mean a dream:bigsmile:i lived through a nightmare. walked through the fire and came out victorious. i will never accept defeat.
somewhere theres a thread in emergency from way back when i woke after a spurs playoff gm from the couch to find sw on the floor lol
if someone know where to pull it, post, nothing like trying to save coral, LR, livestock and a ton of sw on the floor

How about waking up to a electrical burning smell? I sat up in bed and said "something's burning." It turned out to be my old FOWLR leaking SW onto the electrical cords. Very bad. Or waking up and walking out of the bedroom to a horrible smell after the tank crashed last summer. I used to wake up after that in the mornings expecting to smell it. :(

so you look for that electrical smell, interesting. I listen for the sound of the sw. every tank has a unique sound signature. If it sounds different, Im in the fish room. lol
mines not totally quiet like some of the tanks here.

Knock on Wood, have not had a tank crash. Through the years ive had a couple of water spill overs and a couple of fish die after leaping to their deaths. I guess I have been lucky so far or consistent with the way I do things..

I've not had a single dream about a aquarium.

Had my sump/fuge light blew up and started a small fire right under the tank. Good thing i was home to unpluged ALL power cords.Very scary situation.
