    Well tonight was pretty crazy. My LFS caught fire and everything is in poor shape. I only live a few blocks away so I went to see what I could do. I was able to get a bucket of livestock. There is about a 2 foot orange monticap and about 12 assorted frags. I had no option but to quick set up a tank and use my 45 gallons I was going to use my salt change to add the corals. There was a clown in the bucket as well but is not looking very well. I hope it makes it. I just had to give it a shot, that or it was certain death. I really wish for a quick recovery for the owner he is a great guy and I can not even imagine how hard it is.

    I buy most of my live stock there, it was hard to just watch. I know every other reefer here would do the same thing.

    Thanks I hope so as well...He wasn't even taking names or numbers. He was simply handing the stuff out the door to who ever can take it. He just wanted the same thing for them all to make it.

    I would feel so horrible if my favorite store caught fire...I bet that must have been hard to watch, hopefully it will be back up and running soon...

    I sure hope the owner can pull the store back together.

    Wonderful that you helped out, I hope your new residents do well.
