Well I came back from outta state. I was in a wedding for a good friend, she loves in Rhode Island. Any way, came back and the tank was fully cycled. No ammonia or nitrites. Nitrate was about 5ppm then I did a 10 gallon water change yesterday. Good to go!!
Today, I added my surviving fish, which isn't many unfortunately. My clown pair, tomini tang, 2 fire fish, and my mandarin.
Lost 75% of my coral. Have 6 zoa frags, 3 acan frags, toadstool and my Scoly. My Scoly looks pretty rough though. It's lost all of its purple [emoji53]
I'm praying for it though. Nonetheless I'm excited to see fish back in the tank!!
I'll pictures when things are a bit happier.

That sucks dude! But hey your cycled!
Also looking at the silver lining, you'll have more room to be picky with higher end corals(a goal from the start)
Hope the Scilly makes it! They are awesome!

Picked up two new acans from jks aquatic early last week, both are doing great.
Then I also picked up my frags @BlueDevil was holding for me, that I got at the swap. An acan I got from reef deep then the magician zoas I won in the raffle.
Picked up my terra del Fuego from @Chriscrna that he was holding for me.
So far I'm happy with how everything is doing. Looking forward to restocking the tank. I have a possum wrasse and a blue star leopard wrasse on order right now too [emoji7]

Yeah I was a bit reluctant to give that puppy up. Encrusted nicely!

ok thank you.
Very friendly, quite easy to keep in a variety of conditions. Don't let the "bug" bite though. They can get quite expensive LOL.
