Question Tank Crash Causes

Hi All,

I just have a curiousity question. I keep reading about people having tank "crashes", and losing just about everything in their tanks.

Aside from a tank being broken, and losing all the water, or some kind of household chemical finding its way into the tank, what are some of the other causes for tank crashes? I'm just curious so I can hopefully avoid some of these mistakes. Don't get me wrong. I'm not looking for anyone to sell themselves out here. Just curious.

I've been reefing for about 9 months now, and the only mass problem I had was an Ich outbreak that killed six out of the eight fish I had in the tank at the time. I learned my lesson on QTing new arrivals, and have recovered nicely since then.

Thanks for any inputs/warnings.
