Most people will have perception that having kids and tank is a problem. They believe their kids will do "their work" on tank. But i believe it a good way to educate them, at least let them see while it last ehhehe...
So far there was only once, the bad thing they pour all the fish food in the tanks while the good thing is just a small tank that hold my wife's freshwater fish. Too bad for her... all the fishes died because of the over feed. Anyway its a good lesson for them, cannot give that much of food! since then they never do that again...
As for my marine tank, so far they at least know what the skimmer does... but do u? ehhhehe they also never bother the fishes or the corals. They only thing they do just ask and ask... what is this and what is that, what do they eat etc etc... i'm trying to explain in a very simple word like "this is where fish waste collected" or "this is snail, they help cleaning the glass" of course so far i'm not really explain to them this is LPS coral .. this soft coral etc ... that is not something that will make them interested anyway.
In short, i want them have another thing to watch beside cartoon after one another. but so far i dun know how to make them love what i'm doing :P ... that doesn't bother me .. so i dun care! As long as they know how to appreciate these lovely creatures .. its more than enough for me ;)

Dude you are lucky, twice my daughter poured the whole container of food into my Oscar tank then on another occasion she put her baby shampoo in because she wanted to give the poor Oscar a bath. All three attempts on this fish have been near death for it, but he lives on, tough fish this Oscar. As for my big planted community tank I can't say the same, twice now I have through some stupid action of care have killed nearly all the fish in the tank. But lessons learned and have been good for a long time now. :)
yeah they eventually will learn the mistake .. just have to be patient sometime .. good luck bro ;)
