Betchya didn't know that distilled water is non conductive. Add a packet of salt and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzap.

The house is mostly clear of smoke....the smell will probably linger a while.

Oh yes, the smell. linger it will! When I change a burnt motor at work, just opening the connection box makes my clothes stink for the rest of the day!

luckily the carpet got wet around the bar, so it didn't fully engulf in flames. But the family had to vacate for a couple hours. Of course I wasn't home....

Did this have anything to do with the chiller by chance ?

No, my quarantine tank is beside the frag tank, with the power bar on the floor (smart thing #1). Aquaclear filter hasn't been cleaned lately (smart thing #2) and dripped onto the frag tank power bar. I thought I smelled something last night, but (smart thing #3) I didn't see anything and ignored it. Tonight, I get call from wife to get a$$ home now, as house is on fire.

As for the chiller, it just decided to work properly since I posted. Go figure...
