Okay I walk down this morning and peek at the 150g I'm setting up. Well, it seems the water is cloudy and there appear to be foreign objects in the tank. Turns out the kids decided to dump toys, books, dirty pajamas, etc. into the tank. I was furious. Fortunately I hadn't started stocking the tank yet. Oh well, must drain, rinse and refill tonight - replace filter media and such.
kids!!!

Wow thats crazy! But when you're a kid anything with that much water looks like something to play in! (of course ANYTHING with water in it was a toy to me when I was a kid! 
)
)Er, are you seeking advice or just posting an experience? I'm not sure what it would take to protect your tank in the future from such incidents, maybe one of the serrasalmus species?
sorry about that at least it wasn't stocked! My 14 month old nephew decided that he was going to go swimming in my reef tank. Not much you can do to keep the little ones out of the water if they set their mind on getting in it! He came back over the next week walked straight to the tank and said," No No no no NO! " It sure wasn't funny then but, you can teach the little ones anything if you have enough patience with them. I don't know how old they are but, getting them their own tank might be a good idea so that can join you in the fun.

If I ever have kids, my tanks will have a lock on them! I dred the day something like that happens to me.
