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