So I pulled my old 55 gallon out of the
alt="" />workshop and set it up until I get my tank this weekend. I am picking up a 46 gallon bow front complete setup from a fellow member. Until I get this home here are photos of the temporary tank.

Now I also picked up some new fish and some corals from some local reefers. Including a tomato clown, a paired set of ocellaris clowns, and many different corals. I lost the male from my pair of ocelleris so when I introduced the new pair I placed my lone female in a old hang on viewing tank like they used to keep bettas in at the lfs. He stayed in there for 3 days while the new pair adjusted to him. By the 3rd day the new pair pretty much stayed right next to the viewing container. So I released the clown into the tank and the three have been happily swimming together for the last 8 hours. And the tomatoe clown just plays right on with them.

I am very excited that everything has come back strong and my corals are beginning to regenerate themselves. Once I get this 46 bowfront I will be adding yet another ocellaris to the group making a small school. I plan to add the new one the same way so hopefully they will except the new guy as well as they have my other clown. If not I have a 125 he can go in. Additionally I will have a melanarous wrasse and a bunch of larger colonies of mushrooms and kenya trees. I. Pretty excited. And thank you to everybody who has made this disaster much easier to deal with.
