sheathed copper ribbons wrapped around H&C lines, connected to a device with carbon fiber in it, which appears to be plugged in behind a fridge.
what is it?
Looks like a water heater from here… 
for what, an aquarium? 
My first thoughts were the copper wrapping prevents the aluminum piping from radius kinks but I think I am mistaken.
Maybe?

I’m thinking its a a way to bond hot and cold water pipes together. Most grounding systems (when metal pipes were used) only used the cold water pipes leaving the hot water pipes throughout the house “floating” and not bonded. Jumping between them (at the water heater is probably the most convenient place) updates/corrects this.
The Amazon gizmos referenced don’t appear to be for this purpose so maybe I’m off but I have seen a bonding jumper at that location before. Fwiw, it was an electrician’s house so I figure that’s what he was doing.
I was waiting on @jjonas to ask but it appears he’s gone soft on this one.
When are you going to join?
