Default Tank Nightmare

Ok...last night I had a nightmare that my tank let go. I was standing in the fish room next to the tank and the back piece just came off. It started stretching and stretching then fell to the floor. The funny thing is the dream continued on, grabbing fish off the floor, scrambling to find some water for corals. This went on for awhile but the wierd thing the floor was dry the whole time. It was the worst dream ever, I'll take snake ninja nightmare over this one anyday.

Has anyone else had a nightmare about their tank?

I had the strangest dream last night. One of the kids at my group home was missing, and he called at 5am this morning. The number he called from came up on the call display (this part is true). But when I fell back to sleep, I dreamed that I was working with the police to track down the address connected to the phone number, and the name that eventually showed up was one of the members of this board, LOL. Their identity will remain secret though

i had a nitemare about my old 45 gallon setup. the stand was a hagen particle board stand that had a custom sump in it, and since the tank was about 6 years old the boards were swollen up quite bad and i was starting to think that the whole tank was going to keel over and flood my house.

i finally had a nitemare that it did fall over, so after that i propped it up with 2x4's and no more nitemares.

I've been woken up to loud dursos or pipes sucking air. I freak out and run downstairs preparing for the worst. Another time it was a crab that made it into the intake of my return pump. But there is nothing like waking up thinking the water isn't in the tank anymore. In this regard ppl with 20 gallons must sleep like babies!

From personal experience, I can say that even 10 gallons of salt water can make quite a bit of mess. Snick-crack-whoosh. There's a good soundtrack for a nightmare...

Every now and again I'll have a dream that there's some tank somewhere that I've forgotten about, and I'll find it after it having been run unattended for like 6 months and there will be 1" of water in there. And yet strangely there would still be things alive in there.

I'm not sure that I've dreamt about a tank letting go (if I have, I don't recall). I do enough to spill water on the floor in real life that (I hope) I don't need to dream about it to fill that particular niche in my life.
