Fire???
 

Neal was that your house on the news that caught fire today??? sure looked like it.......If it was hope everyone/everything is ok

yeppers
my house was on fire
everyone is ok.
my 77 gallon with my predator fish actually blewup and put out the fire.
I lost 3 fish.
all other tanks are stressed a bit but seem ok.
amazingly 2 were still alive lying in sand for 2 hours with no water after the tank blew up...triggers are tough little guys.
my house is pretty much trashed with smoke, fire and water damage.
not cool
but life goes on I guess.
this could set the store timings back a bit as there is alot of work that now needs to be done to my house.
does anyone have any experience with soot and smoke and fish tanks?
I am going to do water changes in all the tanks but they seem ok realy.
neal
and no, it wasn't caused by the dozen or so power bars...lol.
somehow the couch in my living room caught fire.

Holy Cow!:shocked!:Sorry to hear that Neal.

That's a rough break, Neal. I hope your insurance will cover your losses!

Wow, need a hand with anything?

Omg....I hope your fire insurance covers everything. Glad no people were hurt in the fire.

Glad to hear no one got hurt. glad to hear it wasnt the powerbars either you should see my house. Good luck on getting everthing back to standard.

Holy crap dude! Fire is always my greatest fear! Life is number one, as long as no one was hurt eveything else can be fixed.

That really sucks! I hope everything pulls through and turns out alright.

:shocked!: Yikes! I'm glad everyone is ok, but man that sucks!

omg
 

****** deal man now i know why you havent got back to me about the welding guess you have more important things on your mind hope every one is ok and i wish you all the best

Holy crap Neal ! glad to hear everyone is ok.

whoa thats nuts! glad no one was hurt, best of luck to ya

:eek: Wow, sorry man!!! That's really scary.

Very glad to hear you are OK!

Wish I was closer so I could offer something more substantial than words to help out!!

Holly crap man, thats awefull. As a volunteer firefighter, have seen/put out my share. But its always worse when its yours fro sure. They say your couch is where it started? Do any in household smoke? If so, time to quit I think.

That's not good, fortunately no one was hurt.

THAT SUCKS!!! I hope everything works out all right.

OMG
Sorry to hear wow
may all go well getting all back together

Oh my god Neil that is terrible. I never saw anything on the news. Glad to hear everyone is OK. The first thing I thought about wasn't the fish but Ginger your dog. I hope she is OK. Must have been really scary.

I just want to say thanks for all of your words of support.
like a i said, minus a few fish, everyone is ok.
the bad thing is my whole house has to be completely stripped down to nothing left so they can clean the smoke and water damage.
sucks big time and will be like this for at least 3 months.
does anyone know anyone that has a trailer that doesn't use it and want to rent it out for a couple of months.
if so, get them to call me
thanks again for the support.
Neal
oh, btw, marine experience is closed until further notice...sorry

Sorry to hear about this Neil but glad you're all safe. Good luck with everything.
