Nope - I didn't state much of what you said. But - the way it works with expensive fish, tank inhabitants/coral. You give them a list and their value. They probably look at a couple random things to be certain that you're not inflating the values. Then you pay a premium. If a tank disaster occurs - you get paid for the amount those items are 'scheduled for'. But - Here is a quote from the first page of a google search 'Can insurance companies cancel your policy'. In most cases if you do x hours of work, you're reimbursed for that time. Now - before I get jumped on - I'm not in any way suggesting that having insurance makes the heartbreak of the mess and hassle any less. But if I had 20K in tank inhabitants, I would definitely try to insure it. PS - in many states, weather related claims do not count as 'excessive claims'. But as stated before every state has different rules. Hope this helps:Google what? What am I supposed to google? Google that insurance policies constantly get cancelled when making a large claim? Yeah I googled that and found plenty of instances where it happens, or they increase your rates. No thanks, it is bad enough living in hurricane alley and the last thing I need to do is claim a roof and fish tank in the same period. What do you think they provide in response to a claim? What is the street value on a mature yellow tang? You think they actually give you the real value or pay you back for all the hours of your time on emptying out a tank and transferring live stock?
