Filling a tank that hasn't been used for a few months. Always think it'll crack. Have had a 10 gallon "bottom out" NEW tank... not fun. Thankfully only a small tank.
Using heaters. I avoid them whenever possible - A little sideswipe and the whole tank could be electroluted. (Avoid by heating room itself.)

always worried I'll come home to a half eaten heater, or an empty tank with a hole in the side and a fish 12 ft from the tank.

One scary thing is that their feeders are around the size of their tank mate - Bala Shark. They leave him alone though, thankfully. That guys 10 years old. He deserves some kind of respect in the tank.

Thanks now thats something else I have to worry about ;
-I worry about blackouts (even short ones) esp yesterday when I was at work (which is on the same power grid as my house) and the power went out the and I heard the sound of the generator kicking in, luckily they were just testing it.
-The odd creaking sound that comes from my 220 stand, happens after a hot day when it gets cool quickly and the door is open, scares the hell out of me every time.
-A new one just found out 30min ago, adding any new tools to my tank. I have a digital thermometer in the tank which was reading 25*C but it felt cold, so I bought 2 glass ones to double check. Put them in and walked out the room for just a second to hear the sound of fish striking the surface. My Oscars had pulled the thermometer's off the glass and were attacking them fiercely as they bobbed in the corner.

My perch looks at my hand like he wants to eat it. If you see his teeth you would get nervous too.
