I set fire to my first canopy when salt coroded a fitting in the DYI overdriven NO T-8 setup.

I was lucky that I was in the room when it happened.

I left the hose on my auto-topoff system out of the tank. About 8 gallons of water on the floor! I only noticed because I saw it dripping down the outside of the apartment building.

when I used a Rio pump and it nuked my tank

We had a chiller repaired and when we put it back on the tank, we didn't think to check it. The next morning we noticed that the JBJ had reset the temp to 60 degrees, and that was our new tank temp. We lost a female onyx clown (the male survived) and a bunch of corals, the most amazing of was a beautiful red scolymia.

here is my dumbest thing I ever done: I was installing my T5 on my canopy so I removed my MH and set them on my bed. Well I finished installing the T5 and forgot about the mh. I sat down and went on RC well about 1hr later I started to smell something burning but could not find anything. Well as I sat down I again I looked over to my bed and saw the the MH were on. OH shiz I forgot to unplug them and they burned the top sheet. Good thing it did not catch on fire. That was the last time I set the lights on my bed.

:lol:
