Default Electrical Fire Griffins House

Last night the fire dept broke down the front door, smashed a couple of holes in the walls, smoke damage and whatever chemicals they used to put out the fire killed everything in Richs' tank

Well i'm done for a while - had an electrical fire at the house last night and everything died except for snowflake and a open brain. A power bar in my old set up sparked up and set off the smoke detector but by the time the fire department arrived there was far to much smoke to see anything. Everyone was out of the house at the time so the damage is limited to a floor patch, wall behind computers, a lot of smoke damage (they used co2 instead of water) but the salt tank was all dead by this morning except for snowflake who was laboured breathing in the corner. AFter about 1/2 hour of moving her in fresh mixed water she has recovered. The damm gold fish in the other tank didn't have a problem with it - almost like another day at Rich's house" So i am down an out until further notice - gobigurl has my eel and brain in a spare tank = she's so cute and caring
Just let it be known as i have learned my lesson - USE GFI NO MATTER WHAT the cost- as this was the only power bar that didn't have it.
