Electrical Fire Griffins House

Sorry to hear, but the most import thing is everyones okay.

Might be asking to much to share, specially so soon after the event, but could you keep us updated on the insurance side of things. It always been a concern I've had and I sure others who are DIY of how the insurance industry deals with things like this.

That's horrible, sorry for your misfortune. Good luck with everything!

OUCH

I'm good for some frags when you're ready to start it up again

Not sure f I read this correctly. Was it a power bar for your PC or your tank? Really bad luck any way, I guess we'll all be more careful with the electrical side of things. Hope ts not too long befre your back up and running.

Thanks all for the kind words - it was a power bar on my old tank that has been shut down for about 2 months. They figure that it started sparking which caused a small melt hole in the water top up hose and the water sprayed over the other power bar and started the fire etc. My main tank is in the next room but between the smoke/sut and the co2 they used everything was dead when they finally let me in the house the next day to see what happend. I find out today what is going to be covered and how long its going to be before everything is back somewhat normal. Fire inspector said it should all be covered under insurance and to have my adjuster call him if they have questions of the cause. But they will not turn the power back on to the house until the electrical is inspected and that includes the connections to both fish tanks. Keep those bars off the floor people

guess i don't have to worry that my pm meter is showing 7.86

Cheers

That really sucks Rich, sorry for your loss

If you need a hand when you set it back up let me know and I can help out.

Sorry to hear about your tank. I can't imagine losing almost everything in your tank. Hopefully you'll get things started again. I'll try to find some frags for you too.

I'm so sorry.
Hopefully by the time your tank is up and running I'll have some frags for you.

I'd think by then I should have something to offer, hopefully.

Cheers

Looks like insurance is going to cover everything as far as any lights and cables that burnt etc. Good thing it was on my old tank and not the new one. Depreciation is going to be a small factor. It will be a while before start anything as they still have to come in and do the hardwood and sand it all so no tanks until that is all complete. Thanks all for offer's on getting everything going. You will know when i am back up again as you will see the battle of getting the first pm;s in before Anthony

cheers
