Ever get that paranoid feeling something went wrong for the wrong reason?

New modual for apex? Camera and pepper spray probes

Ehm, first explain how this would actually happen.
It seems like an easy fix, don’t let those people inside your house.

Two-factor authentication is really the only way to go for any kind of remote monitoring. Some apps like Mobius are only accessible via Bluetooth so it's a blessing-curse kind of thing.

what the heck?!

If there in your home and they are trying to sabotage drown them in the fish tank lol.

Short from an in-wall with locked sump room including a impervious to smashing viewing panel you should be alright. Weekend job for sure

Are you talking about at work? I wouldn't think this would be a problem at home unless you have an outdoor tank or pond. I worry about my pond sometimes. At work you could setup a camera if this were a concern.

I would simply not allow anyone I do not trust in my home around my tanks when possible.

I can't recall hearing an issue like this in a private aquarium. However, this has actually been documented in a few cases in public aquariums and suspected in a few more instances. I also recall hearing some LFS have had this issue. The one public aquarium case I know about involved bleach added to a tank by a disgruntled employee. That said, it is pretty rare. Many public aquariums have open touch tanks, outdoor koi ponds, etc. and don't see any issues.

There is, however, sometimes misapplication of the risk: "All my fish died for no reason, therefore it must have been sabotage".

A bigger issue seems to be people wanting to increase their social media presence by trying stunts - jumping into Bass Pro Shop tanks, etc.

I heard of this happening. . .
Ugly divorce with a vicious revenge seeking wife. I was told that she poured something in the talk, bleach or something similar. Killed every living organism in the reef.

I would probably keep an eye on contractors/renovation people that were in my home if I don't know them and if I couldn't be there a camera would be handy for that.

I moved all my ranks to the garage. All those family members in the house kept breathing and producing CO2! Carpet cleaners, candles, incense and who knows what else while I was at work! Not to mention all the dog and cat hair getting in the tank too!!
Tanks have never looked better after moving them away from those darn air breathers!!!!

Cameras...as already mentioned. But two with overlapping fields of view so you can't disable one without the other observing the act.

Secure lids and power outage alarm.

I honestly though the OP was referring to online security via remote apps. Like someone hacking into your fridge and ordering 10 cases of non-alcoholic beer.

Guns = American stereotype, Fish & Chips = British stereotype. I could probably add tea, lack of access to dentists or deep-fried Mars bars (although the latter is more Scottish and particularly tasty!)

Got it... I just didn't see where the British part came into play in the original comment... Unless the poster is from there. ???
ANYWHOO.... still cant figure out a way to comment on the actual thread subject. TBH, I thought the OP was a joke....
