There was a fire...

[Kensington Reefer]

Woke up this morning to flames!
According to the FD, it started with the skimmer pump!

NO livestock loss!!

The scorched 200 held for me to relocate the fish, a doliatus rabbit and a foxface, a nigripes clownfish, an 18 year old purple tang and a red hairy lobster.
They are currently in a Rubbermaid 150

I will have to relocate the remaining 4 pairs of clowns and the 3x5 flat that remain in the shed

Crazy day...
Best fishes to all y’all

Holy crap! I'm glad everyone is OK.

I almost had a near electrical fire once... Tangs threw water onto my power strip. A near shocking experience for me. literally.

 

[Corallus]

No!
So good that it was contained and you and your critters are ok.

 

[iani]

That is crazy Erin. Who would expect the pump to be the cause of the fire.

 

[JVU]

Wow very scary Erin. I’m glad everyone made it. Sorry you are having to go through this.

 

[Kensington Reefer]

Thanks y’all

 

[Coral reefer]

Oh no! Sucks man. Could’ve been worse tho I guess. Lemme know if I can help somehow

 

[ashburn2k]

is that the same tank you said you are going to place for 10 years?

 

[Kensington Reefer]

The main issue at the moment is the leathers in the flat
They are larger than many of the tanks here!

 

[popper]

Wow scary and thankful able to prevent further damage.

That’s the one!!
Insurance gets to buy it now...doh!!

 

[MolaMola]

Oh! I am glad you (and livestock) are all right. YIKES.

 

[under_water_ninja]

Oh man so sorry!!!!!!

 

[Coral2Coral]

Wow! Sorry to hear! But glad no major damages!

 

[Some Rando]

Sounds like it could’ve turned out much worse than it did. Happy to hear you and your aquatic friends are unscathed.

 

[Meshmez]

Woah! That's scary! Glad it didn't end worse!

 

[Turkeysammich]

Awe man. I’m glad everything turned out ok. Your totally blessed.

 

[Thales]

Holy hell, that's crazy! Glad you're ok!

How'd you get alerted? You're suddenly making me think through my garage and such not having a fire alarm, and debating buying a bunch of connected fire alarms.
