Summary: House burned to the ground last August started in aquarium room, cause was determined to be a faulty strip that was powering the LED lights although it was 3:30 am in the morning and lights were off.
I was out of town on business thank god wife and daughter got out ok they barely found each other and made it. Unfortunately all our possessions and precious inside animals perished including 4 dogs, 3 parrots, 2 cats and thousands of dollars worth of mature saltwater(550 gallon fowlr) and freshwater (600 gallon cichlid) fish.

After the fire:
Back of house

Aquarium room burned to the ground, steel stand remains but everything else including entire aquarium melted

It's surreal looking back and what we have been thru the last 6 months losing everything and starting over. We are blessed that my wife and daughter made it out but still very traumatized by the events and loss of our family pets.
We are rebuilding a house on another plot of land, house build is in process, slab should be done end of next week. New aquarium has already been ordered, it will be bigger than before.
