I was upgrading my 55G FOWLR to a 75G. So I moved all my rock and fish into a large Trash can I use for water stroage, drop in a powerhead and heater. I then turn on the RO to let the new tank fill up and go to bed, today I walk down stairs to see how the salt is mixing in the new tank, when I feel a source of heat. To my surprise its the trash can, I take the top off and it is literally steaming off the charts past 110 where my thermometer will read. Complete loss fish and Live rock now dead.
 
Whats worse is it was my wife's tank and she just that same day gave the okay to buy a reeflo hammerhead pump for my 500 gallon tank. So not only did I loose my fish but I lost her fish.
