It sounds like with the bad luck that came your way so did some good luck! One thing I always tell people that ask me about starting a Reef tank at my real job(Yes other then the hobby)
1: Don't cheap out.
2: Don't Take shortcuts, do it right the first time!
Haha, but I'm glad that all was not lost and it could be worse!! Good luck on the upgrade when you come back and have fun on your holiday and don't worry about your tank now, what's the worse that could happen
