I put a ceramic type eagle in the middle of my tank and after some time I noticed it was flaking so I decided to take it out. When I took it out it had broken apart inside the hollow part and it caused the tank water to go completely white when I removed it. I removed the fish and ended up loosing a 8 inch Bala.
back when i had goldfish they all got whitespot about a weeks after i got them, they were in a 100L tank and there was all sorts in there and all unique and handpicked lol.
so they get whitespot, i treat them with everything the little petshop could flog me and it didnt get better. so my mums mates says "my sister puts some dettol in there and coz its anti bacterial it cleans them completly".......needless to say all my fish were dead within an hour! :-( it still really upsets me that i was so stupid...and iv learned from my mistake....iv never bought any dettol since!

Oh, this one's too good not to type the whole thing.
Had an XP3 hooked up to one of my tanks. One day I decided that I needed more filtration so I ordered an FX5 to hook up to it.
That night I went out for beers with friends and got home fairly intoxicated. Proceeded to drink more beer. Discovered that there was a problem with the XP3 so I decided to fix it.
I fixed the problem but couldn't get the stupid motor on correctly. I got frustrated and managed to break one of the latches. No spare filters.
Woke up the next morning to try and find a replacement latch. No LFS in my city just sold parts and I couldn't buy another XP3. Ended up having to buy an XP4 just so that the fish didn't get poisoned. FX5 arrived two days later.
Found a site on the Internet that night and ordered a replacement latch for about $2. Grrr.
As a side note, the tank that the XP4 and FX5 are hooked up to has absolutely pristine water.
